Important #dddperth schedule planning being done by @amykate_94! https://t.co/8enwDhbvKX
Woohoo! #dddperth kicking off with @robdmoore giving an acknowledgement of country. Big crowd! https://t.co/1JIHSjJqjU
Big clap for the sponsors! Very proud to be here representing @yow_conf at #dddperth. https://t.co/CkKfIdLUpD
Nice – #dddperth giving away books from @TGAsuperheroes! 👏 https://t.co/JLBtSPlkzF
@Mandy_Kerr Me too!! Thanks 😁
RT @jessbudd4: Love how aussie @DDDPerth’s chatbot is lol https://t.co/Od3Sj5vUT8
Morning #dddperth keynote – @gojkoadzic straight from @yow_conf Singapore! https://t.co/qqbzUuZdTR
When self-reinforcing algorithms go to war, you end up with the most expensive book in history. 😂 @gojkoadzic #dddperth https://t.co/kuRxP9rOIt
Traditionally most software testing happened before deployment – but now with cloud, major risks are POST deployment. #dddperth @gojkoadzic https://t.co/zq2Da0ZcfW
@msandfor @the_patima @DDDPerth Agree. I shared with our conf team immediately!
Who is this guy? It’s @the_nathanjones! #dddperth https://t.co/QPvCFO2nUo
Woooo somebody found the @yow_conf stickers! I’ve got more where that came from. 😁 https://t.co/9XbxcHRQO3
YAYYYYY some PHP ❤️ from @the_nathanjones. Don’t practice Resume Driven Development. Choose mature tech over shiny. #dddperth https://t.co/mYLVxEkOnu
@gilmae Not at all! It’s just a general developer event.
“If a report is written and no one reads it, was it really written?“ aka the story of my career as a business analyst. 😂 #dddperth https://t.co/iZi4d2sgQx
@gilmae Could also just be that organisers were from that world. It’s volunteer run, so highly variable I think.
@gilmae Thanks. I’ve got like six more hours to fret. 😵
RT @msandfor: @the_nathanjones sums it up #dddperth @DDDPerth https://t.co/MrqJZkci8b
@FakeSamRitchie @RaphHaddadAus @DDDPerth 😳 Wow. Same.
YAY – I get a sneak preview of @FakeSamRitchie’s upcoming #YOWconnected talk next week! 🚫👖😂 #dddperth @yow_conf https://t.co/kcWGVTOu8k
If I take photos of every pun, I’ll kill my battery. Rest assured, @FakeSamRitchie has delivered as always. #dddPerth https://t.co/tnCeaZBQ1z
RT @mjhilton_: “The only thing worse than losing a project because you bid too high, is winning it because you bid too low” – @FakeSamRitch…
@stringy @jas_quek ASS advice? Now I have serious FOMO.
Really loving Subrata’s energy! Learning about challenges and trends in mobile testing automation. #dddperth https://t.co/P36qqeTaLt
Can confirm that ALL bathroom stalls in ladies room were occupied in last break! 👏 (I’m not complaining; it’s a good thing.) #dddperth https://t.co/t2oBItS5nV
@transprogrammer @zoeydoesnttweet We literally just chatted in the bathroom. 😂 I was happy to see your tweet and realise you know her!
@the_nathanjones @the_patima @DDDPerth Pro tip: put a sticker on yours. I made the mistake of grabbing someone else’s Logitech once and fumbled when it didn’t advance my slides! 😵
Time for the talented @the_patima! Already loving her energy. Great way to finish the morning session. #dddperth https://t.co/AVYTNQpvlu
RT @FakeSamRitchie: “Can I say shit?” @the_patima @DDDPerth https://t.co/6qYWYrVY9Z
RT @mike_s_airey: “so, yes. I’m saying that we’re mind athletes.” @the_patima @ #dddperth
Shineybriation – getting too distracted to focus.
Irony – tapping this tweet during @the_patima’s #dddperth talk. 🤦♀️ https://t.co/tJpJ9i1O70
Lunchtime is the perfect time for sticker placement decisions. Loving the rainbows @canva @github @buildkite! ❤️🌈 #dddperth https://t.co/50RAbI8Wz3
RT @msandfor: @TGAsuperheroes Donna Edwards @Ignia_AU talking about hiring and retention for diversity at #dddperth https://t.co/d9UP5t0L9y
Culture fit should be about shared values – not whether they cycle or like having beers after work. 🙌 @Donna_Ignia #dddperth https://t.co/ay5LVs5l3w
Family support is so important. 😂 https://t.co/M250vGqLAw
@msandfor @canva @github @buildkite I’ve only got a couple, so I didn’t put them out. I can hook you up though. 😉
@lyynx @msandfor Sticker swap during afternoon tea? I’m down with that. 🙂
Ohhhhh man, I am HERE FOR THIS. Atari 2600 development. 😍 #dddperth @cprieto https://t.co/y58jUmvMGA
@TheDetentionPod @cprieto It’s being recorded!
@TheDetentionPod @cprieto It’ll be on the @DDDPerth website, I reckon!
The takeaway for @cprieto’s talk: Atari failed because games were so new, they treated them like toys. See also: Virtual Reality. #dddperth https://t.co/Pv98ny8IH6
@lyynx @msandfor Sticker swap in the big room when you’re free!!
All mic’ed up and ready to go! #dddperth https://t.co/5kB3ordx2L https://t.co/zjnODqji9r
I’m not stressed. I’m excited. I’m not stressed. I’m excited. </mantra>
RT @FakeSamRitchie: Inspired by @web_goddess, if anyone is chasing a tech mentor, let me know (esp Swift/mobile dev).
Actually T. Swift wears Dragon Girl. This is Mysterious Red. 💋 😂 #dddperth https://t.co/wfrryWPEN4
That time I told a whole room of developers to “punch a f**king Nazi”… 😂
@msandfor @ACSWAofficial @DDDPerth @MicrosoftAUTech @canva @yow_conf @ACSnewsfeed 😂 We kept a close eye on our picnic baskets.
Too many amazing tweets to respond to just yet. Thanks so much. 😍🍺 #dddPerth
@Donna_Ignia Thank you Donna! I loved your talk too. 🙂
@webprofusion @cprieto @shiftkey @JakeGinnivan Thanks Christopher! Nice to meet you. 🙂
@CamilleHein Legit teared up at that. Thank you so much. Pay it back and be up on stage yourself next time. 😍
Uh, I trended. Perth, you need more happening on a Saturday night. 🤣 https://t.co/BUg6JgkDwn
@notdetails @Mandy_Kerr @amykate_94 @DDDPerth Hi Joel! I actually need to watch yours. I quoted it secondhand via @Mandy_Kerr’s post, but I’ve heard great things about it.
@caseymarcallen Thanks Casey. 😊
@davidbanham Married, in fact. 😂
@stringy Don’t tell Damian. He most certainly wouldn’t condone dropping f-bombs in such an unprofessional manner. 🙂
@al5848 @arggrande Thank you both! I’m glad you found it useful. 🙂
*cough* Looks like they quietly revised the text. #DDDPerth https://t.co/8IdhL9EQp5
@baralong Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. 🙂
@jessbudd4 You = AWESOME. Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it. 🙂
@the_patima Haha, as soon as I met you and @Mandy_Kerr, I wanted to be as awesome as both of you! #mutualadmirationsociety 😍
@shiftkey @DDDPerth Thanks Brendan. 😊
@leftclickben Thanks Ben!
@AshleyAitken @DDDPerth Thank you SO MUCH for your positivity and upbeat attitude in all speaker comms. I want to you to send me a daily affirmation via SMS now. 😂
@lordmortis She’s pretty awesome. 🙂 Thanks!
@msandfor @ACSWAofficial @yow_conf @MicrosoftAUTech @ACSnewsfeed @DDDPerth Right back at you. 😍
@mike_s_airey Ah, good. That’s what I was going for. It was very tempting to make it just the first, awful part. 🙂
@robdmoore Thank you so much again for inviting me. I loved it!
@afcowie I do much better at meetups where I have a beer. I have a theory that, much like billiards & darts, one beer is sweet spot for performance.
@arggrande 😍 Thank you…
@glasnt Thank you! With this and the LCA announcements, it’s been a very good weekend. 🙂
@zoeydoesnttweet Looks like your battery made it. 😍
@battlepanda_au @msandfor @ACSWAofficial @yow_conf @MicrosoftAUTech @ACSnewsfeed @DDDPerth FEELING THE LOVE!!! 😊 Sensing I’m going to be having a lot more coffees with folks the next time I visit Perth!

@zoeydoesnttweet Oh thank you! It was my first ever keynote, so so it was a new approach for me.

@FakeSamRitchie @DDDPerth Oh god. Incoming punnery.
Best in Perth, I’m told. 😍 https://t.co/NH8xUyvGuH https://t.co/bLiqwnla8D
@BartholomewD Should’ve posted that shit back to them to cost them more $.
@the_patima @the_nathanjones @DDDPerth I did a full run an hour ago. Came in at 42 min. Crap. I wanted to be less than that.
@CoreyGinnivan @the_patima @the_nathanjones @DDDPerth Meh, but it’s the last talk. Shorter is better.
@tarciosaraiva @yow_conf Ooh, I’m looking forward to that one!
@CoreyGinnivan @the_patima @the_nathanjones @DDDPerth Time for another practice, I guess…
@BartholomewD In that case, I fully support destruction. 😀
Enjoying @DDDPerth speaker drinks! @FakeSamRitchie @usualballer #dddperth https://t.co/7Hts00RlbX
@robdmoore It was very nice, and the proprietor was charming! A+, would nom again.

If you want to hear the Roald Dahl interview with the BBC last night, it’s here! https://t.co/UChYgGmVOr Probably around the 90min mark… 😄
@bezthomas ❤️
@amorphic @yow_conf Hi James – which URL are you seeing that on? We’re no longer using Confui. Maybe something we missed in migration…
@amorphic @yow_conf Ahh, last year’s Programs for Syd/Melb/Bris pages? That’s a mistake; I’ll remove now. We won’t publish this year’s until closer to date.

@johnallsopp @msharp Unethical and deeply dangerous. Why are they proud of driving people to burnout?
@darthted @johnallsopp @msharp Ah, I get it. Three developers stacked on each others’ shoulders in a trench coat. GENIUS. https://t.co/uD16xLIH86
RT @LJKenward: So excited that @juniordev_io Perth is happening tonight! 🙋♀️ Can’t wait to meet all the JDs and friends of JDs in #Perth !…
@aexmachina @yow_conf Thanks! We’ll take a look.
@tcn33 So wrong. (PS Happy birthday!)
The fabulous @LJKenward kicking off @juniordev_io Perth in front of a full house! https://t.co/JcRwPGGlex
Big shoutout for @DDDPerth at @juniordev_io… and they’d giving away a free ticket! https://t.co/0aAwTXI7QR
The journey from being a junior to hiring them, from local dev (and former @yow_conf speaker!) @JakeGinnivan. @juniordev_io https://t.co/OraJyj38ZF
Nice shoutout to @pragdave from @JakeGinnivan in his talk at @juniordev_io! https://t.co/OzWSPOZDhW
Someone at @juniordev_io Perth just asked how to find good meetups to go to. You can use my handy Meetup scraper! https://t.co/TafJ0JSwuk
Look at this crowd. Motivated, curious, dedicated! If you’re not hiring juniors, you’re missing out. @juniordev_io https://t.co/ngWxqHRKeh
Jemie from Bankwest telling us about the *real* gateway drugs to a programming career. 😂 @juniordev_io https://t.co/3Vv0pYMTEa
@MichelePlayfair @juniordev_io There are easily 70 people here. Hugh turnout!
@MichelePlayfair @juniordev_io LOLLLLL. Totally didn’t catch that. 😂
Hometown hero and iOS developer @AndyyHope (visiting from Melb) is telling the crowd how to scale your career. @juniordev_io https://t.co/W9Yggjur4S
Massive congrats to @LJKenward for this fantastic @juniordev_io Perth launch! https://t.co/WFBmztrE0N
RT @DDDPerth: @web_goddess doing a quick shout out for @yow_conf …and @DDDPerth! https://t.co/0re2ptvZHG
That. is. fascinating. I think it would actually be even more interesting to see it mapped in “flat” organisations. Secret hierarchies! https://t.co/eakg6aCuvL
I wish I’d read @Mandy_Kerr’s post before I saw her last night, because I would’ve bought her a damn drink. 👏🍺
https://t.co/T4CrhBvesC
@JaimeeNobbs @juniordev_io @DDDPerth WHAAAAATTTT YOU’RE GOING? THAT’S AWESOME! 💃
@collypops The definition of “pose” seems fairly wide, @collypops. 😂 https://t.co/YYyf2FC9zX
This whole thread is spot on, but this was my favourite part. 🔥 https://t.co/tFHCgu9Pr6
@DDDPerth @the_patima Just finished a full run through too! People in the next hotel room probably annoyed. 😂

No big deal; I’m just doing a BBC Radio interview about Roald Dahl RIGHT NOW.
@starbuxman It’s Roald Dahl Day, so they wanted to hear about my website. 😀 https://t.co/9RAtnLYo9V
