@mdjanderson @cdeagle @tastapod It’s possible I misheard in my delight at learning a new acronym. 🙂
RT @brentonmcsweyn: “Lead time to Thank You” – Aspirational Agile #yow15
I remember when XP was this New Big Thing at my first dev job back in 2000. Wow. Just dated myself. #YOW15 https://t.co/QcwJGzQpMS
Oh god. And now MoSCoW. @smithcdau should’ve warned audience about possibility for traumatic flashbacks. #YOW15 https://t.co/VUG9TLr6cT
Huh. You don’t usually see Eli Whitney mentioned at tech conferences. @smithcdau #YOW15
@boicy Thanks James! I’m excited to get to introduce your talk this afternoon. 🙂
The problem with @smithcdau’s #YOW15 talk is I’ve now got a list of like 20 software methodology books I actually want to read.
RT @RaphHaddadAus: 40 agile methods in 40 minutes by Craig Smith #YOW15 https://t.co/kFZf8wQbIy
“Oh hi! I follow you on Twitter!” How new friendships start at tech conferences. #YOW15
Talk of vulnerabilities in networked computers always makes me think of Battlestar Galactica. Just me? #YOW15 https://t.co/BVzjlxVMdc
Problem with tech conferences: feeling embarrassed to fire up Moomin Valley so I can harvest my lingonberries.
@glasnt HA!
RT @paulwiggins: Who is the hacker that outed Craig Wright as the creator of Bitcoin? Maybe Craig Wright himself. https://t.co/TbQjMm25h6 v…
I forgot to mention earlier: I’ve got @canva stickers if anyone wants one! #yow15 https://t.co/mo8YoUraAX https://t.co/Lz7qrtWMkY
CDD – Constraint Driven Development. Listening to fascinating stories from @enyok. #YOW15 https://t.co/satrbWi5FC
@pbrdmn You’ll have to find me at a different event then!

Thanks @pyko! https://t.co/EQwTmYvmDc
I was having a lovely moment reminiscing about working in the London dotcom boom with @boicy before his #YOW15 talk! https://t.co/hzqHKH8MhS
A more entertaining explanation of the Single Responsibility Principle from @boicy. #YOW15 https://t.co/2vIYlygGhh
RT @Meligy: “Getting to rearchitect a system is a sign of success, not failure”
Well said.
#yow15
TIL about idempotency in computer science. Thanks @Indu_alagarsamy! #YOW15 https://t.co/tq5yKyvfdH https://t.co/sWdMk6GmsN
Sampling Danish delicacies with @apaipi after #YOW15. WOW. https://t.co/RpRTBSKzT3
Who let @whalec on stage?! 😜 #YOW15 (Thank you @bilue_voice for the beers!) https://t.co/k1dI6vfJQ8
@charrett @Tyro @apaipi Yes indeed! I’ll be similarly decked out in @canva gear. 🙂
Woken up by loud pounding on the door. WHAT THE HELL JERK. Oh, wait, our gas is getting installed today? ALL IS FORGIVEN! Huzzah!
@tidymeaus I can’t see how to actually cancel a booking on my dashboard. Do I really have to ring you for that?
@apaipi @charrett Unfortunately I’ve had a change of plans! Found out at 6:30am that gas is being installed at our place today.
@apaipi @charrett Sorry to miss you both!
@charrett @tyro @canva @yow_oz @apaipi One of my colleagues might be wearing a shirt! Keep an eye out for @sebastiangrail or @kouky 🙂
Disappointed I’m not at #YOW15 today, but on the plus side, it looks like I’m getting hot water for Christmas! https://t.co/97QMvaaN2D

@TempleWebster Hey, have you guys got the wrong product photo on this item? https://t.co/qi8P8fvue8
RT @nicwinton: Our coffee machine at @Canva was suffering from queuing problems. So I upgraded it. https://t.co/za3tA3OxYM
@TempleWebster Brilliant, thanks! Then it’s definitely the thing I want to order. 🙂

@rosepowell I bought a feather boa yesterday! There’s a party shop in the CBD near Wynyard. Apparently one in SH somewhere too?
Made it to #YOW15. Phew.
Hey, that’s me! Congrats again to @pyko, @lucykbain, @daphnechong, @charrett, and @vilacides. #YOW15 https://t.co/2txdZn9tc9

I’ve seen this Netflix quote before & maybe I’m not enough an abstract thinker, but it made me ROLL MY EYES. #YOW15 https://t.co/0AZDOsYamg
Yes, vision is critical. But you can’t build a boat of you don’t have people with boat-building skillz. #YOW15
@sazzajay Maybe it’s the ship-building = software development analogy that annoys me. I think if it more like architecture.
@sazzajay And yeah, yearn for skyscrapers. But the person pouring the concrete has more practical concerns.
@neil_killick Because it presupposes you’ve hired all the best ship-builders and they all know exactly what to do.
@neil_killick Which is only true for a very small group of ship-building companies.
@neil_killick I’m more interested in the practicalities of training up more shipbuilders than lofty philosophies.
@neil_killick …to strain the metaphor to the breaking point. 🙂
“You built it, you run it.” – Werner Vogels. That’s a statement I can get behind. #YOW15 https://t.co/8Isfied8BR
@MsFionaTay I know what you mean. I worry people will think it’s the only thing I do. “You just like to be offended,” someone said. #despair
@neil_killick Which is fine, and I said as much afterwards. My objection has more to do with Netflix hiring policies. 🙂

Is this where the post-technical people are? 😜 @delitescere #YOW15 https://t.co/FmCdFWY1RN
“Stuff that gets 8-10 ppl pointing in same direction is very different from stuff that gets 80-100 ppl pointing in same direction.” #YOW15
How do you distribute work to feature teams? How does that turn into $? (This is relevant to my interests.) #YOW15 https://t.co/5Fv8Sdti9I
TIL “SWAG” as a unit of measure. SWAG = Sweet Wild Ass Guess. #useful @tastapod #YOW15
