Excited for today’s Women in Tech panel with folks from @MYOB and @BlueChilliGroup. @Clr_Angela kicking us off! #developHer #SheStarts https://t.co/8H13CmS99z
Having data on diversity is one thing. Actually doing something about it is another. @KeoghAlla from @MYOB #developHER https://t.co/xhQDaLRzwF
My third time this week hearing the amazing @nic_hazell talk about the genesis of #SheStarts and @BlueChilliGroup’s diversity efforts. https://t.co/aGQSr3wx85
Lessons from @nicole_kersh on the need for role models and mentors for women entrepreneurs. https://t.co/bhvC0fy4Ez #developHER #SheStarts https://t.co/TE8sZtCFtx
Neat! @juliamyob says the 1st #developHER cohort included many spouses of @MYOB devs. Great so many men supportive of techie partners! https://t.co/6bY86PSR9v
Weekend coding camps like RailsGirls and NodeGirls are great, but there is a need for support afterwards. That’s where #developHER comes in.
Just realised you can actually watch this talk online! https://t.co/Fa0OYU441r
Intriguing idea from @nicole_kersh: some sort of Pay Parity Certification where companies show they pay equitably! 👏 @MYOB @StartupDailyANZ
Ugh. The US election rears its head. I can’t go anywhere, even in Australia, without being reminded of this awfulness. Ruins everything. 😞

@FakeSamRitchie @yow_oz The lovely folks at @dius_au were kind enough to invite me along. 🙂
@sebastiangrail Yes! I’d never been before. Stunning.
@sebastiangrail WOW!!!!
@sebastiangrail Pics or it didn’t happen.
@sebastiangrail Hopefully I’ll be around tomorrow night if you don’t leave too early!

Feeling the excitement as @claudiablb kicks off today’s #SheStarts mentoring session at @BlueChilliGroup. https://t.co/hn6VRafpCc
“Bitches get stuff done.” Like @claudiablb, I had this as my iPhone wallpaper. #SheStarts https://t.co/N0tY7YfOGU
Three types of mentors: tactical (day-to-day honing of craft); strategy (med. term); vision (navigating industry) – @claudiablb #SheStarts
Don’t call your startup a baby. That makes it very hard for mentors to tell you your baby is ugly or doesn’t work. 😂 @claudiablb #SheStarts
As a mentor, always start with YES… AND. Like improv! (@taradefrancisco would no doubt agree.) #SheStarts
Oh good grief. @claudiablb has made us all cry 30min into the session. 😪 #SheStarts
@teknetia Maybe it’s because most male programmers and marketers think “assistants” are female. Like being helpful is gendered. 😕

I’m trying this out right now @tjbyte. Pretty much just an empty shop front with a big table in it. Ping pong next door. Hmmm. 🤔 https://t.co/HglNeW0Q1n
@tjbyte If that’s your criteria, I reckon the State Library or Broadway Food Court are just as good!
@tjbyte I’ve been visiting a fair few of them here. So far @WOTSOWorkSpace has been my favourite in terms of value!
@tjbyte Also worth checking out @twospace_club. I’ve still got that one on my To Do list!
@unixbigot @yow_oz LOL. I knew you were secretly a Hermione.
@unixbigot I’ll be there too!
@yarrcat I’m the same – I have crappy veins. The last time the Red Cross lady said, “you officially don’t have to try anymore.”
@yarrcat I was both relieved and sad that she let me off the hook.
@johnallsopp Happy birthday! Were we going to catch up this week? I’ll buy you a birthday coffee. 😀
Now is Not the Time to Criticize the Galaxy Note 7 – HA. I laugh so I do not cry. https://t.co/qybDyr5nag
@AbstractCode @yow_oz Me! Well, I’m speaking too. 😀
@AbstractCode @yow_oz Haha, my talks tend to get shunted to the “weird but amusing” slot at the end of the day. 😀
@mobywhale @GGDSydney Have fun! I’m sorry I’m going to miss it. 🙁
@mattallen It’s like witchcraft. You now know my true name.
Tonight’s meetup: #sydneyai at the gorgeous @BCGDV offices. Thanks @TeremTech for organising! https://t.co/IRQIj29skM
Ian Heddle from Zomojo starts his talk on computational complexity by going all the way to the ancient Greeks. #sydneyai https://t.co/Q1lLWxkpca
Organisers of meetups: please publicise a hashtag for your events! I’m just makin’ this stuff up and it’s disappearing into the void.
WOW. Zomojo’s homegrown genetic algorithm machine. @nemshilov will be jealous. #sydneyai https://t.co/5pqilpNgsx
Ian’s advice for getting into machine learning: STEP 1. LEARN PYTHON. #sydneyai
Final tip: make sure you have a way to halt your machine learning algorithms. Otherwise you’ll be up for a very big AWS bill. 😂 #sydneyai
Another day, another @alexboudreau chatbot talk. 😂 #sydneyai https://t.co/mM2gw7x6gi
Poor @alexboudreau just had to say “Parsey McParseface” in a tech talk with a straight face. Ugh. The worst, @googledevs. #sydneyai
Thankfully @alexboudreau says current state of AI is still really far from Westworld territory. #sydneyai https://t.co/XX6g7VO9HE
Intuition is the reason that human GPs won’t be replaced by chatbots. @alexboudreau #sydneyai
Bold prediction from an audience member that Esperanto will reemerge as the language of chatbot interaction in the future. 🤔 #sydneyai
@walkingadvert Awwww! Waves at @SerriLaw @lucykbain & Ellen!!
@FrankCharlton Do you know about @RHoKSydney? Talk to @AlexGilleran. 🙂
@FrankCharlton Except duh, you’re not in Sydney. But RHoK is international!
@FrankCharlton Maybe you should start one. My friend @lemon_lime is in Seattle – he might help.
@lemon_lime I just saw this, and it took me five seconds, and then I LOLed. 😂

@stephenlead It’s a fair cop.
@mattallen @stephenlead They had those at Canva once. Along with the Toffee Apple. They’re both terrible.
A friend back in Indiana asked me to recommend toys/games to intro his 6yo & 3yo girls to coding. 😍 Maybe the world isn’t 100% horrible.

@sebastianparis I saw that too! Can’t remember what it was called…
TIL that the new Broadway food court has free wifi, power points, and Korean burritos. I think I just found my coworking space.
@desplesda Yes! Glad you’re coming. And hey, I’m going to linux.conf in Jan in Hobart. Are you going to be there?
@gilmae I’ve got a 16yo with me for work experience. Frankly the distraction was welcome. 😀
@tjbyte That’s at Central Park, right? I was actually at Broadway Shopping Center.
@gilmae It’s my nephew, so it’s more “work experience in the easiest way possible”. 🙂
@gilmae I’m basically using him as Mechanical Turk right now.
@tjbyte Is there a website for it? I can’t find it online. I’d be interested in trialing it…

The # of applicants for #SheStarts was 2x that of any other program @BlueChilliGroup has run, and it was only open to half the population.
Lots of applause as @BlueChilliGroup’s @sebeckmas tells us how #SheStarts came to be. https://t.co/CCjWIJEhxX
