    Excited to hear from Michael Leung about faster, better storage and how it makes computation faster. @DellEMCDSSD @pivotallabs https://t.co/0EIqfNctTN


    Wow. @DellEMCDSSD were able to reduce time for a particular cancer care process from 11 days to 6 hours. Literally life-saving tech. https://t.co/MOdJrRuIwG


    .@lgarulli starts his talk with a stark warning: 60% of Big Data projects will fail in 2017. @OrientDB @pivotallabs https://t.co/OG9zAuDmf5


    Big Data projects fail for lots of reasons. The big ones are complexity and budget. @lgarulli @OrientDB https://t.co/H6mqvsFpea


    I definitely spot some familiar local names using @OrientDB… @sonatype @FOXSportsAUS https://t.co/assHNADU8e


    @Malarkey My Dad is going to be very scornful of that news. It’s Clint or nothing.

    @Malarkey I’m fairly certain “right turn, Clyde” was the first sentence he taught me to say.


    @The_McJones Boooo. Pickles are THE BEST. I have a jar from Costco the size of a small child in my fridge.

    @glasnt @pycon My knitting talk got accepted too! I’m still kind of in shock. 🙂


    @incunabulista @glasnt I have a feeling it might be the final time for this talk. I’ll have given it a lot by then!


    @mmastertheone The rest of the world is catching on! Knitters love puns. 🙂

    Whoa! My talk was one of @jase_thomas’s favourites. 😊 https://t.co/lvnD8ZsAIC


    @jase_thomas I think I did the very short lightning talk version for that one. I’m glad you liked it! 🙂


    @TheRealBnut I carry two of ’em when I go to speak anywhere just in case they don’t have them. But I have very rarely had to use them.


    @pelagikat I’ve been there before! Beautiful place. Looks like a great day for it too.

    Good question on whether video training materials will supplant text. @Loquacities says no – video is too annoying now. AGREE +1000 #lca2017

    Should something fail a code review if usability sucks? YES. 👏💯 @kattekrab #lca2017


    @thisismywww Nah. The talk was focusing more on considering users than in process


    @tveastman I liked the composition. Suitably dramatic. 😁


    @teknetia That’s one reason I stopped food tracking. It’s all oriented around pre-prepared, like nobody cooks from scratch anymore. 😕
