    Second fastest time ever from the #yow17 team at @TheEnigmaRoom! @WoodyZuill @the_snook @DocOnDev @AgileSquirrel @kytrinyx @yow_conf https://t.co/P37igKosod

    Wow. This is super useful @boztek, as it points out that even people who think they know what it means (like me) might be interpreting it incorrectly. Could change what they take away from your talk. https://t.co/bCXtKxbIt4

    @mmastertheone @TheEnigmaRoom @WoodyZuill @the_snook @DocOnDev @AgileSquirrel @kytrinyx @yow_conf That’s the one we did! I think it could use a few more red herrings though. That would make it harder. 🙂

    Now that conference season is over, progress is being made. ✅ https://t.co/6w7N0j6wZM https://t.co/0qptdOnSeb

    @incunabulista Yes indeed!

    @randomknits I love that you have a whole series of photos of Bonnie watching you eat different things. 😆

    You know what’s fun? Doing three weeks of expenses from all over Australia. 😭🔫

    I am a measly TEN points from Platinum. 😭 Any chance of a Christmas miracle, @VirginAustralia?? 🙏🎅 https://t.co/HD1ehWJ3hq

    @_hhandoko Yeah, I’m hoping they take pity on me. I was hoping not to take another flight before the end of the year! Too much travel in 2017. 🙂

    @VirginAustralia 😬 Sent!

    @OphelieLechat Do you know @simonraikallen?

    @anthonypjshaw @VirginAustralia Already had that set up for a while! But with just 2 of us it doesn’t add up to more than a couple a month.

    @chthonicionic @DrJosh9000 They reached out to say they’d look into it for me. 🙂

    TFW you’re cooing over a video of baby kangaroos when @the_snook reminds you that you ate one for dinner. 😭 #tastytho

    Woohoo! Thank you @VirginAustralia! 😍 https://t.co/BtTJONm75s

    @AshKyd Completely done!

    @realn2s @lindaliukas We recorded it so it will be on the @yow_conf YouTube channel in the coming weeks!

    Tip for conference speakers: “table stakes” is a metaphor you may want to avoid, or else provide some additional context. I ran a poll on the @GGDSydney Slack this week and 2/3 of respondents didn’t know what it meant.

    @crucially @GGDSydney I’d consider poker metaphors in that category. Most people only know it from watching people on TV play.

    @aprilwensel Exactly! Just adding a bit of extra context – “the bare minimum, the starting point” – in enough I think.

    @crucially @GGDSydney Interesting!!

    @JM77 Its a huge thing in the US, because American Coke uses high fructose corn syrup. Mexican Coke uses sugar.

    @JM77 That said – I thought Aussie Coke used real sugar anyway. 🤔

    @mwotton @GGDSydney I can’t believe I didn’t make that joke. 😂

    I love Kasper’s To Do list: make the Web slightly better, and bring joy to mobile developers. ❤️ #yow17 https://t.co/fvfI3iGnNc

    WHAT? How did I not know that one of the @yow_conf #yow17 talks this year features a cameo by @HamiltonMusical!? (Kasper’s talking about the tech used to build the mobile app.) https://t.co/umuzpvCKuX

    Flutter compiles to native, but it uses a modern reactive framework. Great way of visualising where it fits with other solutions. #yow17 https://t.co/5tgAlDRLgm

    Since he didn’t really introduce himself 😂, the Blue room track host this session is @JustinMclean from the IoT Sydney meet up! https://t.co/5qeJ9OIeGV #yow17

    @AGUCAMPOS @davidhussman They’ll be up on the @yow_conf website within a few days!

    Doing custom design and layout for apps is hard. Doing it twice is PAINFUL. @flutterio solves this with platform layering. #yow17 https://t.co/InmWcOZ3Qq

    Kasper introducing us all to @google’s Dart programming language. Not too scary, and now it even has a sound type system! #yow17 https://t.co/gBQbbS7gu6

    Nice demo of “hot reload” as Kasper changes parts of his demo app and updates on the fly. Just-in-time compilation of Dart code is very cool! #yow17 https://t.co/zUvwu7zBX4

    Brief intro into cochlear implants from @xerxesb. Always shocked looks when attendees hear that the first one was the size of an Airpods case, drilled into a person’s skull! 😱 #yow17 https://t.co/dQLJJ89KYM

    @AgileGeoff @yow_conf @flutterio I’ve already got people volunteering to help!! 😊

    A good software architecture allows you to defer decisions as long as possible, to keep your system as flexible as possible. @mark_sabbatical walks us through @CochlearGlobal’s app stack. #yow17 https://t.co/2mhcpvRYya

    Shout out to @jedws from @mark_sabbatical, who followed his principal of making invalid states unrepresentable. FP guideline that’s good practice for everyone! #yow17 https://t.co/Tc2CqawAGg

    A six year time scale for a technology project is really unheard of for most devs. Team had to make a big bet that Swift was the future for iOS over Objective-C! #yow17 @xerxesb https://t.co/GvusoeRA3O

    A useful tool for internationalising your app is auto-generation of screenshots. We used this at @canva too. Handy for i18n, but also great for marketing and QA! #yow17 @xerxesb https://t.co/eAWV9wVpjb

    With a 6-12 month delay for getting approval from regulatory bodies, that pretty much rules out any sort of Agile way of working, right? Damn. #yow17 @xerxesb @mark_sabbatical

    If you want to gauge complexity, look at the interconnections between components. If you change something, how many other parts are affected? @mark_sabbatical #yow17 https://t.co/GirFhaLqGp

    Nice big crowd for @joshprice’s talk on building better APIs with GraphQL! Lots of folks wanting to learn about this technology. #yow17 https://t.co/7O0jSeQfRR

    Ha! Was just arguing during the lunch break that a “conference app” is becoming the new “To Do list” when it comes to sample apps. And now @joshprice is using meet up and talks in his GraphQL example! #yow17 https://t.co/6w4cgPyX0x

    The first #yow17 prizes are about to be awarded! Visit the sponsors asap for your chance to enter.

    Massive crowd for @mamund’s talk! He’s starting by talking about breaking changes and the principles needed to ensure forwards and backwards compatibility. #yow17 https://t.co/JSny51DVbW

    Hail @melissa_loh Stormborn of the House @yow_conf, First of Her Name, the Untweeted, Queen of the Volunteers and the YOW Staff, Khaleesi of the Great Conference Room, Breaker of Lanyards, and Mother of Twitter! #yow17 (Thanks @enstaved…) https://t.co/gDP2zvGWwI

    To ensure we don’t introduce breaking changes in our APIs, we need to be able to change/add objects, addresses, and actions. We need to design EVOLVABLE APIs. @mamund #yow17 https://t.co/vI1oZDHYan

    @melissa_loh @yow_conf @enstaved I did have to google it; I could only recall half from memory. 😂

    Be kind to machines. Make sure your APIs return the most recently used links and forms in responses. Cuts down on network traffic and saves having to traverse multiple levels with every request. @mamund #yow17 https://t.co/5zKfnGwgJ8

    @melissa_loh @yow_conf @enstaved DAMN. Kicking myself for not using Mother of Tristan. 🤦‍♀️

    Really like @mamund’s references to @jnd1er in his talk. If you haven’t read “The Design of Everyday Things” you really should! #yow17 https://t.co/8dXIwLkZbT

    It’s important to know how IT is perceived in your organisation. That’ll help you speak their language, and make the benefits clear when you’re asking for IT investment. @ghohpe #yow17 https://t.co/dFFCHVnyv8

    You will never have enough people to do everything you want to do. It’s critical for chief architects to coach and mentor their teams. Real measure of success is “how many people you pull up the ladder.” 👏 @ghohpe #yow17 https://t.co/g1i0nD0tDr

    Now @abedra’s talking permissions. “How many of you have full admin access to AWS?” Several hands. “And how many of you think you should?” Not nearly as many… #yow17

    DON’T USE THE AWS ROOT ACCOUNT FOR ANYTHING*. You don’t need it. @abedra #yow17

    @amykate_94 I had that last night! I was so excited thinking I was getting to bed before 10pm. Nope.

    Leaving the audience with a final thought: if you think your business can’t move to the cloud, you should reconsider. Even highly regulated orgs are moving there. It’s real and it’s happening NOW. #yow17 @abedra https://t.co/iduTfW79yW

    All @kytrinyx did was solve an irresistible problem, but suddenly she was running a massively popular open source project: @exercism_io. It was HARD. #yow17 https://t.co/OFDjEOJdoL

    Based on @kytrinyx’s experience, it takes 3 maintainers to make an @exercism_io language track work well. (In my opinion, that goes for any volunteer group that you want to thrive.) #yow17

    A lot of folks in tech share @kytrinyx’s old belief that people skills, while hard, are nice-to-have but ultimately unnecessary and maybe even overrated. She’s knows better now. ❤️ #yow17 https://t.co/Wem7RhW59t

    One of my favourite parts of @lindaliukas’s keynote is spying the delighted look on @metaeaux’s face. ☺️ #yow17

    The world isn’t done yet; there’s so much yet to be invented and discovered. @lindaliukas’s work teaches kids that they can help create the future. (I’d love a bicycle lamp movie projector!) ❤️🔦🚲 #yow17 https://t.co/qf5lqEnReY

    Technology is too important to be left to the technologists. 👏 @lindaliukas #yow17 https://t.co/cxDogCURej

    The first programmer in the world was the daughter of a mathematician and a poet. And yesterday we meet a 1-month-old named after her. ❤️ @lindaliukas @sir_tilbrook #yow17 https://t.co/n3gmFVKn5j

    Protip for #yow17 attendees: @lindaliukas’s book is available on @AmazonAustralia! (Or it was a few days ago before I bought 10 of them…) 😂 https://t.co/iPczku0tZk

    Yay! @sqlprequel managed to find the first @hellorubyworld book at @abbeysbookshop! #yow17 https://t.co/PubByVweNa

    Thanks to Karynne Ledger and @JustinMclean for their lovely gift of 3-D printed @GGDSydney earrings!! #yow17 https://t.co/zSYaQyV23j

    Me and @metaeaux and @lindaliukas. ❤️ #yow17 @hellorubyworld https://t.co/8ct3OuqLwO

    @JustinMclean @GGDSydney Thank you @currawongwhsper!!

    The next best thing to Clara live-coding is watching a video of it. Coding is fun! ❤️ #yow17 @jewelbots @SaraJChipps https://t.co/PJEiDWGnxB

    I often have to carry multiple pull-up banners when I travel for work, so I usually tape them together into one item. I was frustrated that the @VirginAustralia agent (at the Priority desk!) in Brisbane today implied that I was “cheating” the system. 😕

    @VirginAustralia It is still under weight, and it can be handled as a single item. She suggested next time I put them into a single large bag. So… I just have to hide the tape. 🤷‍♀️

    Bye Brisbane! Heading to Sydney, cramped but happy. ❤️👋 https://t.co/IbwAMVHoJP https://t.co/v1jmeV3CDN

    RT @apaipi: View from the speaker’s dinner last night in Brisbane #yow17 #beautifulbrisbane https://t.co/F9VwsUCHsK

    Travel is stressful. So grateful to all the #yow17 speakers for their understanding and camaraderie as we grapple with logistics of moving 40+ folks all around this big country! ❤️

    Today has not been my day re: customer service representatives. 😐

    @quochuync @yow_conf @SBSOnDemand See you soon!

    RT @Mandy_Kerr: Sydney! If you aren’t going to @yow_conf get a ticket! So many wonderful speakers and it’s worth it just to hear Linda Liuk…

    RT @eduardlio: cant even begin to describe the amazing experience that is volunteering at @yow_conf. Big thanks to the staff that made this…

    RT @starsandrobots: RT if a connection you’ve made at a technical conference has ever significantly impacted your career.

    @neoghostz @ghohpe Joyce?! 😂

    @roisinparkes @SafetyCultureHQ @pagerduty @GumtreeAu @yow_conf BOSS LADY! 👏

    @neoghostz @ghohpe Not unless he randomly decided to go to the conference in Brisbane!

    Look what came in the post today! Thanks @AmazonAustralia and @lindaliukas. 😍 #yow17 https://t.co/ciTg7ypBjd

    So excited to see this big crowd as #yow17 kicks off in MY town Sydney!! https://t.co/pZuTPV4yow

    Learning about the work @CSIROnews is doing with @_Makeityours to identify the genetic causes of Motor Neuron Disease. A matrix of 1.7 TRILLION data points is a Big Data problem indeed! #yow17 https://t.co/IShmrwkrFA

    When you’re working with very big data sets, you can’t rely on tables to view the results. You really need to create visualisations to explore the data. #yow17 @lynnlangit @allPowerde https://t.co/cEoYnMNRTk

    When a test run of your ML algorithm costs ~$9K, optimisation becomes very important. 😳💸 #yow17 @lynnlangit @allPowerde https://t.co/v7um7B6qUs

    GT-Scan2 is a “search engine for the human genome ” that uses serverless architecture to identify spots to EDIT OUT DISEASES. This is huge. #yow17 @lynnlangit @allPowerde https://t.co/zntfo4WkUh

    It’s important to evaluate features and tools of cloud providers rather than blindly using everything new. In case of GT-Scan2, AWS step functions are more expensive and didn’t work as well did them. #yow17 @lynnlangit @allPowerde

    Thrilled to have @taminap here to represent @indigitek and introduce our next speaker Ondrej from @facebook! #yow17 https://t.co/gtRBsxKLMN

    @Malarkey @mobywhale @LucindaBurtt Say hi to @shvedma, who runs @GGDSydney and works there. 😉

    Ondrej knows his audience. He’s showing an example of GraphQL using Game of Thrones. 😂 #yow17 https://t.co/QqvYD9GPt6

    @leonardo_borges @yow_conf Me, of course! 👋

    Okay, now example is distracting because I’m too busy trying to figure out how Shae counts as a bannerman to house Stark. 😂 #yow17 https://t.co/V5BXPRgaGN

    @quochuync Ohhh, you’ll want to be sure to see @bethesque’s talk on that tomorrow! #yow17

    Really cool to learn how @facebook’s architecture executes reactive LiveQueries so clients can be updated as data changes. #yow17 https://t.co/oHqrA08C1g

    Because my friends and I will likely have a lot of overlap in our FB feeds, users are grouped into “buckets” which are the native unit for load balancing, etc. FB sends all of our queries to the same place for efficiency! #yow17
