@nxdnz I like the emo tear. 😢

@amykate_94 Wow! In black fuzzy novelty yarn? You have better vision and way more patience than me – that stuff’s difficult!

Hey #nodegirls! If you’ve never been to @CFA_aus, it’s this building. See you today for JAVASCRIPT FUN! @NodeGirlsSydney https://t.co/DNMfqYEhVT

Sara from @Hired_HQ organising the swag table for #nodegirls! @NodeGirlsSydney @CFA_aus https://t.co/yDq3RxqfmO

---

😲 ❤️ 👏 Well done to @themaninblue and the @canva team! https://t.co/CnhCsiweZC

---

Recruiter I’ve never met emails me asking me to share an opening with my network. THAT’S YOUR JOB. YOU GET PAID TO DO THAT, NOT ME. 😡

---

Queenslanders – @CodeforAus are looking for 3 folks for fellowship to work with gov. 6 month paid positions! https://t.co/csSpVrvZP3

Another industry classic that I’ve had on my To Read list forever… https://t.co/uxfkWvbd68

---

@NicoleADonnelly You should ABSOLUTELY do that! And I will be with you in spirit. 🙂

---

@TheTonyHam Welcome to why women have been bitching about jumpsuits and rompers for decades.

---

@NicoleADonnelly Haha, I’m giving a version of it *again* at a meetup tonight!

---

@jessbudd4 @Mandy_Kerr I don’t mind when I know the person. But this is a complete random! No, you haven’t earned the right to ask me to do your job. 🙁

---

RT @JessicaCGlenn: I should mention… it’s me interviewing her… so it’s going to be anything but boring! #lmbdw #startupaus https://t.co…

---

@LouiseSchenk I hate LinkedIn. I *think* I just sent you a message via there, but let me know if not. 😀

---

@Mandy_Kerr @jessbudd4 @fendersperth That is frigging genius. I might try that out myself. 🙂

---

Two incidents. See if you can spot the common thread:

---

1) I tell my mother on the weekend that I got contacted by a headhunter for a Head of Engineering role. She says in surprise, “Really?”

---

2) Was just showing an old friend the beanie I knitted with Arduino and LEDs. “Oh cool!” he says. “Did Rodd help you?”

---

I mean, WTF. Why assume that my husband – who is exactly as qualified as I am and who has been in industry exactly as long – knows more?

---

I just friggin’ DESPAIR sometimes. Really. 😡

---

I had a beer. Rage subsiding. Thanks for the support. 😉

---

@onsman Now that my urge to kick all men in the collective crotch has passed, I can acknowledge your excellent sick burn. 😂

---

@kcarruthers Congrats on the UNSW gig!! Just discovered my friend @unlikelylibrary now reports to you and was like, No way! I know her! 😊

---

Another night, another ridiculous meetup selfie with cameo by @karlbowden in the background. 😂 #cocoaheads https://t.co/uY51uGdc4S

---

I am starting to strongly associate Functional Reactive Programming with @TacticalGrace. #cocoaheads https://t.co/libJa4Ijrq

---

Conf & meetup organisers: you want @TacticalGrace to speak. Every time I see him I’m blown away. Great slides, energy, well rehearsed. https://t.co/zqqNp2jtN1

---

I appear to have infected him with the selfie bug. 🤣 https://t.co/32biOXTuQA

---

A nice shout out to @conal, who spoke at #ylj17 just last week! #cocoaheads https://t.co/n61dC2wTkd

---

@pipequanta Awww, thanks. I’m actually really happy in my current role! It was more that I was flattered and she was incredulous.

---

@aussielunix @auxesis @syddevops I’m raising my hand across town. ✋️

---

@geekle @infracoders Yep! @pwcc has talked me into speaking at @wpmelbourne on Thursday, so I thought I might as well come meet the @infracoders too!

---

@aussielunix @auxesis @syddevops I spoke yesterday to a new group of aspiring devs, who were all freaking out that a “mentor” had told them they needed to be coding 24/7

---

@aussielunix @auxesis @syddevops That a job is 9-5, then your side hustle is 6-2. I was aghast. “That’s BULLSHIT. You need a life. You need SLEEP. That’s UNETHICAL.”

---

@aussielunix @auxesis @syddevops See, @hannahcancode? Tell your friends. 🙂

---

HE JUST EMAILED ME AGAIN! He sent me the same email twice. So useless he can’t even keep track of his spam. https://t.co/mZ5a5r7YC3

---

Checking placement of the Britney mic before my #cocoaheads debut… 😂 https://t.co/5ZsKxxbDqs

LOLOLOLOLOL 😂 https://t.co/lICxDIM9JA

@geekle @infracoders @pwcc @wpmelbourne Clarifying! WP Melb is Wednesday. Infra is Tuesday. (I’ve had some beers.) 😂

---

@LukeDurrant Thanks! (How was my Swift?? That was the bit I was most nervous about.) 😂

---

@MichelePlayfair 😂😂😂

---

@keranm I ❤️ the Britney mic. Closest I’ll ever get to my own Vegas revue. 😉

@LJKenward @LukeMesiti @juniordev_io Such a great venue! Nice job @Zendesk for hosting. 🙂

@afcowie @unixbigot I know. I have a problem.

@john_codeinaire @coderfactory THAT WAS YOUR SECOND EVER TWEET? I’m honoured!

@TheRealBnut @themaninblue Get with the times. I’d sew on LEDs that blinked it, of course.

---

What’s the adjectival form of “Mordor”? Because honestly, that’s what this weird sculpture outside the RBA reminds me of. https://t.co/8DHCEzUSCu

---

@themaninblue @TheRealBnut I already attribute 25% of my vision loss to knitting with dark wool. That stuff would ruin me!

---

@themaninblue Yeah, I can see that. It just struck me as particularly NAZGUL when I was coming up Martin Place.

---

Excellent news! Happy to have played a small part in resurrecting this great group. Now to get back to Brisbane so I can attend… 😉 https://t.co/3lah29dZCT

@gilmae Let me know if it works. My system is falling apart as it is.

The most women I have EVER seen at @canva! #codelikeaboss https://t.co/qOnsUM0Atr

OH from @canva’s Chef Chris: “Women are SO MUCH cleaner than men! They put things IN THE BIN!” 😂 #codelikeaboss https://t.co/OngqLmte3Q

Inspired already by the @codelikeagirlau launch at @canva. #codelikeaboss https://t.co/OwjorZE5cc

---

Laughter as @sallyannw points out that, for the few men here, this is 1st tech event they’ve been at where they’re minority. #codelikeaboss https://t.co/brTuPR9izp

---

“Women in tech” casts a wide net. It’s very diverse, and it’s a myth that only developers count. @sallyannw #codelikeaboss #codelikeagirl

---

Listening to @ButenkoMe from @NodeGirlsSydney tell story of transitioning to tech. ❤️ We need more of this! #codelikeaboss #codelikeagirl https://t.co/CBzkRyG95f

If you think you might start a company sometime, start assembling your Dream Team list NOW. @hollyccc #codelikeaboss #codelikeagirl

I hate it when tech events don’t publicise a canonical hashtag. #1stworldproblems

---

@cbetta 😐

---

Attendees of #codelikeagirlau: you should follow @codelikeagirlau @GGDSydney @WWCSyd @WiTDnD Attend meetups. Start building support network

---

Protip from @sallyannw (and me): Ask potential mentor for suggested mentor names. Often they’ll end up mentoring you. #codelikeagirl

---

RT @codelikeagirlau: “You can have the best app or tool but if no one knows about it…. ” – @ButenkoMe #codelikagirlau #startupaus

Pair programming with a guy was one of @ButenkoMe’s biggest fears. Turns out the guy was just as nervous! 😂 #codelikeagirl https://t.co/MNcW3rFRNz

As Madeline Albright said, “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.” #codelikagirlau #codelikeagirl

What would you tell your 15yo self? Ignore boyfriend; ignore idiots in school; ignore voice in your head. Do the CS degree. #codelikeagirlau

That was my own answer, btw. #codelikagirlau

@TheRealBnut Why didn’t you hang around?!

---

@andee_marks Yet you know @starbuxman would approve! ASCII art is important. 💯

---

@TheRealBnut JESS WAS THERE.

---

@TheRealBnut @rosepowell The Snook tricked me into reading like 5 Pratchett, promising me I’d like it. I never really did.

---

@TheRealBnut @Astarael Yes, I congratulated her!!

---

@TheRealBnut @rosepowell “You’ll like the Death books!” “You’ll like the Night’s Watch books!” “You’ll like the Hogfather!” None of it worked.

---

@TheRealBnut @rosepowell The only one I even remotely liked was half written by Neil Gaiman and wasn’t Discworld anyway.

---

@boundvariable @TheRealBnut @rosepowell I liked bits. I even once sewed someone an Orangutan Librarian sock monkey and knitted an octarine potholder. https://t.co/Or1igborJz

---

@boundvariable @TheRealBnut @rosepowell But mostly they just seemed like collections of silly puns and jokes. Not actual characters that I could get invested in or care about.

---

@lynnlangit Dangerous advice though. It took me a long time to realise what I was actually worth.

---

@Illdrinn Perhaps not right before bed. (Overactive imagination…)

---

Woke up to a Conf talk rejection. See? It doesn’t always work out. Way more misses than hits.
