    First selfie of @webconf_asia with @hello_daryl! https://t.co/VyDMssSik7


    Things are kicking off with a welcome from Verlebie. @charis looks excited! #webconfasia @webconf_asia https://t.co/tiUtED36jP


    Keynote from @smashingmag’s Vitaly is a hell of a way to start a conf! #webconfasia @webconf_asia https://t.co/jZ92baf2zL


    LOL. My university’s website gets called out for using a carousel that makes web designers sad. 😂 @smashingmag @webconf_asia #webconfasia https://t.co/dpgcnb5zKK


    “Hey, look at that! @yow_conf is coming to HK, and you can win a free ticket!” Come visit us and get a sticker, @webconf_asia 😉 #webconfasia https://t.co/6hTRpCaWDL


    Next up is @triblondon from @fastly – hey, that’s where @randommood works! – talking about the power of the network. #webconfasia https://t.co/qvjL5M2tLf


    HTTP/1.0 envisioned as a WeChat chat! #webconfasia https://t.co/3e5dfvaJBD


    Speaker selfie with @triblondon, who taught me more about HTTP in one talk than I ever knew before! #webconfasia @fastly https://t.co/S8U7wJ8jlr


    UX design is all about caring for the overall user experience – beyond just screen they’re interacting with. #webconfasia @FractalStories https://t.co/sQHBT3kDVG


    Creative coder @edankwan gets the audience chuckling with his story of moving on from Flash… #webconfasia #flashisdead https://t.co/ZrRjByph90


    @cczona Also seeing Americans unwilling to travel to O/S confs for fear of having to hand over passwords upon reentry. 🙁


    @cczona I know – I am one. And I turned down a talk in US last month for that reason. 🙁


    Neat – @edankwan showing off his Particle Love experiment using Leap Motion. https://t.co/t3gdoHdNDb #webconfasia https://t.co/TseZZv9f0G


    Yay, I found HK legend @bgever at #webconfasia! https://t.co/UOlcaFWwDj


    So impressed with how well @charis and the @webconf_asia team have organised everything. Great talks, great food, great chats! #webconfasia https://t.co/tdeJNqVSsN


    Hey, look! There’s the @yow_conf logo! Check out the amazing speakers we’re bringing to HK in Sept: https://t.co/DpqQVeGYqP #webconfasia https://t.co/u8eRY1hwWH


    Lots of examples from @dietrich about bridging physical-digital divide, including QR codes. You can even knit them! 😂 #webconfasia https://t.co/dlpKDcc3sX


    @codepo8 @yow_conf Hmmmm… not sure, but I can suggest!


    @dcotterill @yow_conf WHEN DID WE HAVE STUBBIE HOLDERS?! 😂😍


    More than 50% of websites are in English, yet only 5% of population are native speakers! – @hj_chen #webconfasia https://t.co/vIWz3D8Yr5


    I ❤️ @hj_chen’s talk. Serious typography geekery, but from Chinese perspective. So cool! #webconfasia https://t.co/y29EeqoUTO


    @dietrich I did! And they point to the pattern, so they’re self-replicating. 😁 https://t.co/i6PZK6CsNu


    Two minutes in, and @brucel already has the audience hanging on every word! #webconfasia https://t.co/ANBMnOExUE


    Hope you all enjoyed afternoon tea as much as the #webconfasia team did! 😂 Thanks @yow_conf. https://t.co/KJ7QURqwQs


    @jesswade @DrLucyRogers @dietrich @01Annalisa @DrEOChapman The pattern is here! (They were hand knit though.) https://t.co/i6PZK6CsNu


    A fun end to #webconfasia as @heydonworks runs us through the many advantages of NOT writing code! https://t.co/fbObubOLwv


    Waving at @johnallsopp from #webconfasia afterparty with @smashingmag and @heydonworks! https://t.co/dvAYQJNhgJ


    @jenblacker They absolutely do, and they point to the pattern – so they’re self-replicating. Took me many prototypes!! https://t.co/i6PZK6CsNu


    @jenblacker QR codes rely on squareness, so key is to BLOCK THE HELL OUT OF IT.


    @chthonicionic @jenblacker Thanks! They won me a second prize at the Sydney Royal Easter Show knitting competition a few years back 😁


    Some of the many amazing folks I got to chat with and learn from over the past 48hrs at #webconfasia and #voxxedsi… https://t.co/GokZmFEaAg https://t.co/lRLBwymOkB


    @perrynfowler @dcotterill @yow_conf @jagregory Now I’m tempted to knit one with JAOO on it… 😂


    @johnallsopp @smashingmag @heydonworks I should add that we toasted to @malarkey as well. 🙂


    RT @neilhimself: Aha! You can get Marvel:1602 by me and Andy Kubert for the Kindle for Cheap ($3). Still proud of this reimagining. https:…

    Whoa. @pivotal have unleashed a monster. They’re giving away FIDGET SPINNERS as @voxxedsingapore swag! https://t.co/QYPdkOL8Xa


    Crowd still trickling in as Alan kicks off @voxxedsingapore! Most of audience are backend engineers (based on quick poll). https://t.co/ezfFasql1c


    First talk is @RedMartcom CTO and co-founder Rajesh relating their story from monolith to microservices. @voxxedsingapore https://t.co/4LSN63RhlP


    First silly conference selfie of @voxxedsingapore with @PuneetDewan2! https://t.co/TxqJPP1gc2


    “Tech won’t solve everything.” Having good team & culture is important. Great note from Rajesh at @RedMartcom to conclude! @voxxedsingapore https://t.co/CucmAB8WPj


    Second keynote is @glaforge confronting the audience with “IT Holy Wars.” We go around in circles and spirals! @voxxedsingapore https://t.co/ORrK8hCxLS


    50 shades of #AAAAAA. 😂 @glaforge @voxxedsingapore https://t.co/0cOEirHFp3


    The line between “obscure” and “self-documenting” often depends on whether you wrote the code. @glaforge @voxxedsingapore https://t.co/8DtSVwxexw


    Tabs vs spaces – looks like the room is split roughly half and half! @glaforge @voxxedsingapore https://t.co/KHO9lVDUre


    Standing desk vs sitting – the new holy war? (In my experience, less about dev preference and what your office can afford.) @voxxedsingapore https://t.co/k7jSjXPpMw


    RT @localhostAU: MEL & BNE peeps who love the web, it’s the last day to grab your tickets!

    ✅ After hours event
    ✅ 4 awesome speakers

    I’m capturing @voxxedsingapore speakers like Pokemon! Here’s Vincent Serpoul from the Docker Singapore meetup group. https://t.co/z8HiDENlh3


    The world is changing. @owais_zahid is telling us how HTTP/2 is going to change the way we build applications. @voxxedsingapore https://t.co/aOwLqOPCU1


    Pretty good metaphor for head of line blocking – supermarket queues! @owais_zahid @voxxedsingapore https://t.co/O0gAsppDLE


    @yow_conf @MyriamPaul As a tall person with a big giant target of a head, I am against this idea. 😂


    Recommended reading from @owais_zahid at @voxxedsingapore: “HTTP/2 push is harder than I thought” by @jaffathecake. https://t.co/2Im6VxBFri https://t.co/8tRsZ30RCj

    Another speaker! The legendary @sergiu_bodiu, who’s speaking about chaos engineering this afternoon. @voxxedsingapore https://t.co/KOIXD8KHng


    @pj_Leward @voxxedsingapore Right?? Fanciest conference food ever!


    Learning about the need for container orchestrators from @ZenikaIT’s @cfurmaniak. @voxxedsingapore https://t.co/aJ0tvjnwf8


    Hey @voxxedsingapore! Did you know @yow_conf is coming to SG in September? Come see me in the break for a sticker & chance for free ticket! https://t.co/YNEAOypkzk


    TooManyOrchestratorsException? 😵 @cfurmaniak gives tips for choosing one that’s right for you. Thank cattle, not pets. @voxxedsingapore https://t.co/w0gqGOTxga


    Of course, I’m itching to knit it! https://t.co/6S20DCvPkz

    “Backups always succeed. It’s the restores that fail!” Truth 💣 from @pivotal’s @sergiu_bodiu at @voxxedsingapore. https://t.co/qLSZwLoVVG


    Only #3?! ROBBED! Fun fact: when @the_snook made for me, we learned jelly babies dissolve in jelly. OH THE HUMANITY. https://t.co/rCV872XjLQ https://t.co/4nZVflAtei


    Dejirafication – Most meetings we have are people… updating a tool… to update other humans. @sergiu_bodiu has @voxxedsingapore chucking. https://t.co/XEV26RXiey


    RT @crankymate: This has been one hell of a busy week. Awesome, but tiring. <3 @canva! We’re doing amazing things — you should join us!


    You can learn about the principles of chaos engineering from this 2016 white paper: https://t.co/lHpqQfomNZ. @sergiu_bodiu @voxxedsingapore


    Performance testing. Ahhh, I remember we used Gatling to test voting during AU Big Brother a few years back… @voxxedsingapore https://t.co/fEW7RHW2v0

    Thanks @WWCSyd + @lucykbain for organising 👏
    DM us…


    @MelissaKaulfuss @the_snook TBH the taste wasn’t great. Blue jelly only appeals to the < 10 crowd, I think.


    @caseywest Was just talking about you this morning with @starbuxman and @glaforge! 👋


    Another @voxxedsingapore selfie with my new friend @burrsutter! Conference organisers – you want him to speak. So awesome. https://t.co/AiibC5M8dh


    Hmm, I wonder why there’s a giant queue at the @RedHatNews booth? Oh, because @yanaga is doing a book signing LIKE A BOSS. @voxxedsingapore https://t.co/fcPZvy4MXd


    @randomknits You and @gilmae have a wonderful trip!! And happy belated birthday!! 😁👋


    Thanks to the team at @voxxedsingapore and everyone I met! Can’t wait to see you all again at yowconference.sg in September. 😉


    It’s midnight, and I just landed in Hong Kong. It’s 30 degrees. 😐


    @aquintex Frankly 30 sucks on both scales.

    It’s not often I see a rego form without the option for “Ms”, but it still happens. Not sure why my marital status is relevant. 😐 https://t.co/KMG6PbqLkr


    @ahontwi Of course you are. I’m kind of a big deal on Twitter. 😜


    @stibbons What does that even mean?!


    My new fave cafe in Singapore. Iced long black, lightly sweetened = 👌💯 https://t.co/vUsJdileGk https://t.co/3NKdNrM9em


    @stibbons ImpeRial? I could do that. 🙂


    RT @jnowland: @web_goddess If they skipped the “Ms” option you can skip the 6 years of uni and become a doctor 🧐


    @jnowland I was actually very tempted! But it’s for a robotics conference, and I didn’t want anyone to ask me any actual technical questions. 😆


    @supercres It’s for a robotics conference, and I’m worried some one will ask me actual technical questions. 🙂


    That time I queued for 50min for Michelin-starred ramen noodles. 🍜 (Thanks for the recommendation @paulballesty!) https://t.co/uL9kD557fI https://t.co/kLL0KZYDKN


    How to get to @voxxedsingapore tomorrow: https://t.co/0XjFmQIhKr. (“These people are already waiting for Voxxed Days!” 🤣 Nicely done…)

    @DanSiepen @paulballesty Absolutely! There was a scary moment when it looked like they’d run out, but thankfully that point was behind me in the queue.


    Fulfilled my dream of traversing the walkway at the Supertree Grove. So surreal and magical and HIGH! https://t.co/ebZkBAcgi7 https://t.co/3BjIFbmEFu


    Arrived at the @kubernetesio meetup tonight to hear a familiar voice… @burrsutter! Presenting again! #hesamachine https://t.co/OBiF29hlM3
