    I know what people mean when they type “ack” in a chat, but I can’t help but picture Cathy every. single. time. https://t.co/sJBMk59TEY


    @imdominating “Acknowledged.”


    One of our awesome @canva chefs just came to ask advice on baking a pumpkin pie for the office. (That sound you hear is @gilmae weeping.)


    @brittanieshey Flashlights don’t work so well on solar panels. 🙂

    If your ecommerce product doesn’t have some bad ratings, you better write some. HA! @smashingmag at #sydcss


    60% of users copy/paste their email address when asked to verify. That field is USELESS. @smashingmag #sydcss

    @JennaGuillaume SWOON.


    @JennaGuillaume I was too, but I always carry a torch for the awkward, nerdy ones.


    @SydCSS @canva Thank you for coming! It was fantastic. So great meeting folks from all over Australia! #SydCSS


    @andykelk Looking forward to giving it a listen!

    @stowball You’re welcome! My goal is to carry around a zillion of them like @developerjack.


    @brittanieshey Yep. I don’t remember him having to stop due to lack of light to see. Just to recharge power.

    Discussing the difficulty of raising capital for Aussie entrepreneurs not in Silicon Valley. @ScobIeizer https://t.co/vVyI7U3Jxn


    @gilmae Just normal glasses. I got the distinct impression he’s not super pro-Google right now.


    The @canva K/Chrisses meeting @scobleizer today at @tyrofintechhub! @chrisdoble https://t.co/l2oMwHWmtW https://t.co/FbC9KDNeog


    @NicoleWill100 @Scobleizer ran us through his talk today – very cool! He’s met @MelanieCanva before and he’s a big @canva supporter.


    @200ok @sydjs Too bad. @sydcss is gonna be way cooler. 😛


    Absolutely loving @sprongify’s frock for tonight’s #ggdsyd! #frocktober @GGDSydney https://t.co/sflPBjdf4X


    When you become aware of stereotype threat, it can actually affect your performance. I’m reminded of https://t.co/7sQw58ImYo. #ggdsyd


    Note to self: remind interviewers at work to never comment on rarity of female engineers. #stereotypethreat #ggdsyd


    Okay, let the record show I tweeted the xkcd reference before it appeared in the slides! #ggdsyd https://t.co/LGzeUX89yt


    Bookmarking for the next time someone asks me why there aren’t more women in tech. #stereotypethreat #ggdsyd https://t.co/YJ4xifSCYi


    If you’re the only woman in the room taking a maths test, you don’t have to be reminded of the stereotype. #ggdsyd


    How to welcome candidates from minority groups: less Star Trek, more plants. https://t.co/QhOCXYIMdJ #ggdsyd #WomeninTech


    How to counter #stereotypethreat. Will be discussing with our People Lead tomorrow. #ggdsyd https://t.co/JlFiOJaweZ


    @emmasee100 Because it reinforces the stereotype & can lead to worse performance. Even if they don’t believe the stereotype.


    More ways to counter #stereotypethreat. #ggdsyd https://t.co/y9WIGtuNy0


    Last tip for countering #stereotypethreat: normalise the appearance of struggle. Everybody struggles. #ggdsyd https://t.co/SRexKfFgPE


    Benevolent sexism is annoying, but it shouldn’t actually affect your performance. Small silver lining, I guess. #ggdsyd


    Good grief, Google. You have set an extremely high bar for every #ggdsyd sponsor for the next year. https://t.co/kMv9du42F9


    Bloody hell, Google. Eating a wedge of Brie the size of my head. Who needs crackers? #GGDS… https://t.co/9IGzEVS7uL https://t.co/PEEdvpxZVg


    Stupid Twitter cut off my hashtag. #ggdsyd https://t.co/11RYNm52Gr


    I’m not kidding. This is an impressive cheese plate. #ggdsyd https://t.co/T2lpKegh6n


    Amusing myself with @kakacharlotte at #GGDSyd. https://t.co/ECkW59ddjw https://t.co/nsVe9ybod5


    @monwulff I’ll race you to the leftovers as soon as Edwin’s done… #GGDSyd


    Shameless plug: this is the 27th different frock I’ve worn in a row. Please donate to #frocktober! https://t.co/bsC4guObef #GGDSyd


    This is brilliant. Great job @kaylajheffernan! https://t.co/YUuSjle22E


    New life goal: become so rich I can pay @kakaCharlotte to follow me around taking photos. (Stay tuned for today’s Frocktober pic.)


    #frocktober day 27: @sportscraft dress and boots at @google_aus! #GGDSyd https://t.co/c07C6lrDtf https://t.co/gN9wjrvGkz


    @kaylajheffernan I actually did wonder! Very cool. 🙂


    RT @redambition: Note to self: don’t visit Priceline after a bad day at work.
