    Credibility means BA’s will be present at start of projects, not just coming in to document decisions that have already been made. #iibaluna https://t.co/qgVED0X02j


    Guys giving tech talks: when you’re taking about senior techies and you use “she” pronoun, women listening notice & appreciate. #iibaluna ❤️


    I’m so excited to be running this! If you’re doing something interesting with tech, please consider submitting. #LCA2018 https://t.co/NmtBivns5h


    ARGH. Have committed the classic error of wearing dress with no pockets to conf that has lapel microphones. 😫 https://t.co/PgfJBacDSB


    @HealthHackAu @LizlingC @allPowerde @Data61news @CSIROnews @yow_conf Oh wonderful! @allPowerde is amazing – and she’s keynoting @yow_conf too!


    My session at @IIBA_Sydney Professional Day is in 30min! Come to hear me rant about the tech industry and how you can help fix it. #iibaluna


    @rooosterboy I blame the Patriarchy.


    RT @SLIDE21today: @web_goddess you rocked the house! We love you!!

    @johnallsopp @jonoabroad I had to read this one like 3x to parse. 😂 But yeah, sprinkle in *all* the pronouns, by all means! As long as it’s not ALL “he.”


    @johnallsopp @jonoabroad The one that really gets me is when (generally older male) devs refer to hardware/software as male, ie “this guy” “he” etc. IT’S INANIMATE.


    @SLIDE21today Thank you!! 😍


    RT @codebarSyd: Really excited to see diversity scholarships at YOW! Conf this year. Check it out! https://t.co/5mPbwQ5NRZ


    RT @yow_conf: Join our final BNE #yownight before #yow17 w/@LeeRyanCampbell Nov 8 https://t.co/ZAyjL9MNG8


    Tonight’s @IIBA_Sydney #iibaluna event ends with “alcohol and bumper cars.” More tech events should do this!! 😜💯


    @webdirections @IIBA_Sydney I don’t see this crowd as necessarily mixing the two activities! 😂


    Listening to Ken Sheargold of @PMPartners talking about the future of BAs. Agile teams need people with hybrid skills. #iibaluna https://t.co/uNpnqMO0pQ


    “What would you do if you were starting out today?” Work on hybrid skills, soft skills. Public speaking, negotiation. #iibaluna @iiba_to


    YAYYYYY way to go @JeffreyTheobald and @Zendesk! Wish I could be there. 😭 #fomo https://t.co/Ol8xgVSXQb


    @GRobilliard @Atlassian @LookaheadSearch Wow! And I think I see @hannahyanfield! ❤️👋


    @Xavier_Ho Nice one!


    Just realised my Kindle is advertising the weirdest books. What’s Paul Mathews’ obsession with losing things? What is a NIGHTMARE CROUTON?! https://t.co/7sogf13LP0


    @FakeSamRitchie It appears to have something to do with 9-11, I shit you not. https://t.co/R1pp5d3Bwj


    Rodd to me, just now: “Our cos lettuce needs picking. We should make a Caesar salad on the weekend.”

    Me: “WITH A NIGHTMARE CROUTON!” https://t.co/uFuZ9tq9MZ


    Day 26. Sportscraft dress and @welovecolors tights. #frocktober #frocktober2017 https://t.co/XHEYlcmAqn https://t.co/zk4NuMFGwT


    Note to self: Circle skirt on a windy day was a mistake.

    Note to everyone in Martin Place: You’re welcome for the free show. 😳

    A recruiter spammed me this morning about a frontend web dev job. Me: “I haven’t been a dev for like 10 years. Why did you email me?”


    Him: “Since 2002 we had you marked as a Web Developer living in Newtown”. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. This is a Bad Recruiter.


    @the_patima @webdirections YAYYYY! Let me know how long you’re here. Maybe we could do a quick social @GGDSydney meetup??


    RT @ManishEarth: Periodic reminder that 60% of tech does not have a CS degree.

    https://t.co/Yu3UYTi90Z

    Your pipeline is invalid.


    @the_patima @webdirections @GGDSydney Gahhh. I think I’m going to be in Brisbane that night for a YOW Night. 😭


    @the_patima @webdirections @GGDSydney Not sure yet – literally just confirming today. I will def be at some part of @webdirections though on behalf of @SydTechLeaders!


    @themaninblue Before I saw your text, I honestly thought that was the latest gaming console.


    Also, the job he was advertising was in Richmond, Victoria. I mean, WTF.


    @themaninblue I am stealing all those names when I open my cake gaming console pop-up bakery.


    I am now in separate Slack channels for the Brisbane, Perth, and Newcastle tech communities. Any others in AU I should know about??


    @damienpbuckley Yep. I just found out about it last night: https://t.co/5KA9zdiy5r


    @the_patima Oh! I’m in View Source. I didn’t realise it was Melbourne-based. 😂


    @net_hues Different accounts on Slack, the chat platform.


    Bye bye Brisbane! See you again (very) soon. (at @BrisbaneAirport Domestic Terminal in Brisbane Airport, QLD) https://t.co/XXvfXnO4V5

    Woohoo! @ignitesydney dress rehearsal is done and dusted. Now I’ve got one week to get it memorised.


    @karlmikko_ For Newwie, I think you’ve got to message the organiser of the meetup group for an invitation: https://t.co/x6jZ16GtLq


    @unixbigot Your ideas intrigue me and I’d like to sign up for your newsletter.

    @ButlerMaurice @BrisbaneAirport 😱 Once again, #frocktober conflicts with climate.


    Last chance Brisbane – still a few spots going for tonight’s IoT meetup featuring yours truly! https://t.co/oLss8TpDTe


    RT @z_rose: SEEK is hiring UXers. Again. I know, I know, we never stop. It is actually team growth not turnover (there are 20+ of us!) So:…

    @HANSwerThePhone I’ve been trying too. As an American, it’s REALLY hard. 😕


    @HANSwerThePhone The one that really drives me nuts is when a developer refers to a piece of code or technology as “this guy”. IT’S NOT A GUY.
