@knitcodemonkey I had to pull up my thank you slide and show him your name in there. 😊

---

@stringy @georgiecel Definitely not limited to Australia. I’ve seen a lot of older white American tech guys use “this guy” when talking about pieces of code. It drives me batty. These are usually the same guys who use “he” for every pronoun as well.

---

@georgiecel Bigger question – is “mate” gendered in Australia? It has a very blokey connotation to me. I’ve only ever been called mate by guys who (I think) are trying to make it clear they’re not hitting on me.

OMG. @rdegges built a shitty PHP blog on shared webcasting – same as me – but he ripped DVDs and gave them away on it – which I didn’t. 😂 #BuildStuffUA https://t.co/jXmSyge1HN

So after @the_snook saw @rdegges’s talk in Vilnius, he especially recommended it to me, saying that Randall does a lot of the same programming stuff I do. I now realise that was not the compliment I thought it was. 😂 #BuildStuffUA

TFW you drop off a weeks’ worth of clothes at a Ukrainian laundry with a woman who speaks no English, trudge all the way back to your hotel, and then realise you left a tube of Chapstick in your pants pocket. 😭
