    Women are leaving tech at twice the rate of men. Oof. Looking forward to gender parity hacks from @StokesXandra @REA_Group #ctosummit https://t.co/WDDj56rJQq


    Compliment and award women in tech for their role-related skills – not baking or soft skills or emotional labour. @StokesXandra #ctosummit https://t.co/P5XMpLY5LR


    “A little encouragement goes a long way.“ Not gonna lie – likes & retweets from @nxdnz @simonraikallen always give me a boost! #ctosummit https://t.co/xQRzblJMrW


    @smithcdau ☺️ Thanks!


    VIC ICT for Women have recently published white paper with year’s worth of research on women in tech: https://t.co/cCH1joVR2t #ctosummit

    Love the coordinating manicure!! 😍 https://t.co/nJ8PNpNi4T

    @StokesXandra The illustrations were so lovely! Well done @15mindrawings 👌


    The separation of Engineering and Product is getting a lot smaller – and will continue to do so, says @andykelk! #ctosummit


    RT @StokesXandra: @MrPommyGit be careful that your manifesto doesn’t give you an opt out clause #ctosummit needed to shift culture quicker…


    So excited to hear from @rebeccaparsons on what CTOs do and why the role needs to exist. #ctosummit https://t.co/USzDtiLWc1


    @simonraikallen That KitKat saved my life! Energy was flagging…


    Being CTO means communicating and collaborating with everyone in the business… not just the geeks. 🤓 @rebeccaparsons #ctosummit


    @simonraikallen Sometimes a KitKat to the head is worth it.


    In May at #yowwest16, @simonraikallen convinced me I could be CTO. Now @rebeccaparsons says to aim higher & rule the world! #ctosummit https://t.co/l5JLX0irhX


    @carly_io @yow_oz And it was so nice to meet you! Thanks for joining us. 🙂


    @starbuxman Everyone’s gone but me, so y’all don’t be out there too long!!


    TFW the @yow_oz speakers you are chaperoning are all watching fairy penguins on a freezing cold beach and you’re warm in the restaurant.


    @randommood @caitie You guys coming back anytime soon?!


    The room is starting to fill up. The energy is crackling! #yow16 https://t.co/eaoohnlPKs

    RT @StewGleadow: Just because some people do architecture badly doesn’t mean software architecture isn’t important – @rebeccaparsons #yow16


    RT @edward_c: Spotted on a t-shirt at #yow16: “curl -s https://t.co/IUBkRfRmyA”. You’re weird, @REA_Group. Nice work.

    Neat – @EvaNahari is starting her talk on NLP with a famous poem. The words are made up, but we can still process it. #yow16 https://t.co/b2cWFaDFC7


    There are ~5000 languages in world (not counting dialects), and millions or trillions of words. And languages change! Moving target. #yow16

    RT @simonraikallen: My friend @DarylWMcB and I have a jam-packed rip-roarer of a day for you all tomorrow at #CTOSummit #Melbourne. See you…


    Nothing says Melbourne like a ridiculously over-engineered coffee. (It was good though!) https://t.co/cjUQ6TpYr6 https://t.co/mM7ydNO1GZ

    TFW your lovely night talking with @unclebobmartin, @lady_nerd, and @stuartsierra is only marred by the fear you have rocket in your teeth.


    It’s like a comedy double team act! (The Hyphenates!) 😂 @simonraikallen @DarylWMcB @yow_oz #ctosummit https://t.co/jxVmEuPqa4


    WTF is an architect anyway? Scott Shaw from @thoughtworks has everyone laughing already… #ctosummit https://t.co/YS6jBYgVXa


    LOLOLOL 😂 https://t.co/z7tEaMpzgY


    Metaphor of a self-determination account balance. Allowing ppl to make decisions = deposit; telling them what to do = withdrawal #ctosummit


    OF COURSE @simonraikallen brought Kit-Kats to award ppl with questions. High bar has been set, @delitescere… #ctosummit


    Foundational organisation behaviours needed for continuous deployment. So many small companies & startups don’t do these. @veztek #ctosummit https://t.co/7wG0jjswPZ


    Wow. @envato’s done 8000 deployments in the last 2 years. “When you do something 8000 times, you get pretty good at it.” @veztek #ctosummit


    RT @mumbrella: The days of the “so called boys club” are over, the boss of Nine just said during this panel https://t.co/VoMsJLRc8m


    Tests of org’s leadership hygiene. How do ppl react to problems? Can you give negative feedback? What happens in your absence? #ctosummit https://t.co/ncWXKXNVeO


    One of the most powerful things leaders can do is admit mistakes. It’s scary but it builds respect and inspires. @redbubble_tech #ctosummit https://t.co/o8yylCHZ8a
