Big crowd for @SaraJChipps’s talk on @jewelbots at #yow17! @evanderkoogh @amykate_94 @Mandy_Kerr https://t.co/E637hd5aVz
Clara is my coding hero. ❤️ #yow17 https://t.co/GXLo21itMm
@KathyReid No, but I can introduce you to her Dad! If you get to Brisbane, I’m sure she’d love to meet you.
@KittyHybrid Check your DMs! 😊
RT @sabel25: I never expected a tech talk could make me cry! Fantastic, funny & inspirational talk #jewelbots #yow17 @yow_conf @jewelbots h…
Meeting Clara has definitely been one of my highlights of 2017. #jewelbotlyfe Thanks @SaraJChipps for introducing her to the @yow_conf community! #yow17 https://t.co/DHNFqLiB2N
Loving @KenScambler’s energy as he walks a large crowd through @REA_Group’s FP journey. (Bonus points for the tiny @yow_conf t-shirt on the dev stick figure!) 👏💯 #Yow17 https://t.co/m7BX3QMpYv
How @REA_Group does FP: weekly guild meetings; shared norms; chat channels; and a central experts group. Guild meetings are important for establishing norms and an esprit de corps! @KenScambler #yow17 https://t.co/iIY737iqYa
If your team is new, inexperienced with FP, distributed, constrained by tight deadlines… DON’T MOVE TO SCALA. It will not end well, says @KenScambler. #yow17 https://t.co/NWb4RYjvJB
When the team hit a hard spot 6 months in, the FP experts at @REA_Group stepped up to help their colleagues and provide psychological safety. (Related: I’ve found FP community folks like @KenScambler and @jedws to be very welcoming and helpful to newbies!) #yow17 https://t.co/iHgajrE13j
Anti-pattern: developers sneaking FP in under the rug. If you don’t take the team on the journey with you, it’ll generate hard feelings, be difficult to maintain, and it’s unprofessional. #yow17 @KenScambler https://t.co/CNqBpotSlB
Advice for encouraging first time meetup speakers from @KenScambler. I love the idea of suggesting a timebox for prep to keep the bar low and fight imposter syndrome. #yow17 https://t.co/VRalb4h2EU

FP is awesome with great technical benefits, but none of it matters a damn unless you can make it help people. 🙌❤️ #yow17 @KenScambler https://t.co/8s9r3pZ830
@gclaramunt @KenScambler’s whole talk was about ways they’ve made the FP transition work. The video will be on the @yow_conf YouTube channel on the coming weeks!

@unixbigot @yow_conf Thank you as always for joining us and for everything you do in the Australian tech community!! ❤️
You know a speaker is good when they automatically repeat each question in the Q&A for those who didn’t hear. 👏 #yow17
@cypherbob @unixbigot @yow_conf I just emailed a link to your tweet to her Dad. 8yo and already getting job offers! 👏
@KathyReid I just emailed a link to your tweet to her Dad. 🙂
TFW you see @lindaliukas speak and then immediately message your Sydney fam and friends to go buy up all of her books there. (Thanks @the_snook and @knitterjp!) I’ll have some extras for #yow17 on Friday…
Beware of vendors selling you THEIR roadmap as YOUR strategy! @ghohpe #yow17 https://t.co/DkRCy71HXY
Management loves a plan. It’s easier to get business buy-in if architects can show them *both* the Before and the After state. #yow17 @ghohpe https://t.co/TcFL7FK0ZK
Great crowd excited to learn about the @CochlearGlobal System 7 project from @adamphosho and @mark_sabbatical! #yow17 https://t.co/sV5V0f3hJZ
The first cochlear implant was the size of an Airpods case – drilled into Rod Saunders’s head and embedded under the skin. Fortunately they removed it and gave him a smaller upgrade later! #yow17 😱 @adamphosho @mark_sabbatical https://t.co/GhGyXdVvbe
@FakeSamRitchie @mark_sabbatical I don’t understand the joke and I won’t respond to it. 😉
Programmatically generating the Cochlear device API from a machine (and human) readable specification allows team to constantly upgrade & add features, and also export docs for regulators. #yow17 @adamphosho @mark_sabbatical https://t.co/1Mqqo9uswU
Final use case implemented was “bilateral” – user with Cochlear implants on both sides of head. This was a lot trickier than just adding another volume button! #yow17 https://t.co/0PwD8qWtcu
UX testing is especially important for projects that have never been done before, and for hardware aimed at an audience where the devs aren’t representative of the users (ie people with profound hearing loss). #yow17 @adamphosho @mark_sabbatical https://t.co/96fi32e53u
UX testing revealed that a feature the team thought was unimportant – “Find my Cochlear device” app – was actually high priority for parents. Great insight! #yow17 @adamphosho @mark_sabbatical
It’s a big shift for a dev team when their project goes from being a product to a platform, with other apps and accessories dependent on it. (Love that skull skin!) #yow17 @adamphosho @mark_sabbatical https://t.co/co7uklBbHy
Great intro from @JReddrop for the final season of the day! #yow17 https://t.co/vSYiJeMy3Y
@nitecoder @REA_Group @KenScambler Every Wednesday at 4pm, IIRC.
One of my fave things about @yow_conf is how empty it gets during the sessions. I’ve been to confs where you see a lot of folks opting out of talks, but not here! (Sorry, sponsors. 😉) #yow17 https://t.co/onE8datwb3
@arturotena Is that rhetorical? Yes. That’s the last part of the talk. 😂
@mattkomarnicki @yow_conf Right?! Yet there are always a few unclaimed badges. I feel bad for their employers. If you get a ticket, you should take advantage of it!
@arturotena Heh. No worries. 😂
@kengel100 @bethesque 😂😂
@quochuync @SBSOnDemand @yow_conf Awesome! Looking forward to meeting you. (I’m popping by your office next week too!)

Consumer-driven contract tests solve the problem of test symmetry. Allow devs to make changes with speed and confidence, can be deployed independently, and result in better API design. @bethesque #yow17 https://t.co/fDbVu7uKUW
@yumaSoerianto @AndyyHope Hi Yuma – nice to meet you! Where are you based? I live in Sydney.
@yumaSoerianto @AndyyHope Oh excellent. I should be there in Feb for a visit, if not before. I’ll reach out to you once I know. 👋
Contracts are not a club to beat others with! Don’t practice Dictator Driven Development, @bethesque admonishes. 😂 #yow17 https://t.co/j2L4sQUZFR
“If you can’t deploy your services independently, you don’t have microservices. You have a distributed monolith.” Guy next to me started chuckling and poking his friend. I’m guessing there’s a story there… 😂 #yow17 @bethesque https://t.co/vRLk1aQzGN

“Keep Calm and Write Some Damn Tests.” Sage advice (and hilarious t-shirt) from @sf105, who places TDD just past the Trough of Disillusionment on the hype curve. #yow17 https://t.co/PGjd79r9b2

Testability is a design hint. If your code is hard to test, that’s a sign you need to refactor. For logging, maybe introduce a monitor or a message bus. @sf105 #yow17 https://t.co/aGioTqSi1A
Why does TDD work? 1) Helps you focus. One thing at a time, reliably. 2) It’s concrete; allows you to work with examples and pattern matching rather than abstract models. 3) It’s empirical. Does this work? If it did, how would I know? Feedback loop. #yow17 @sf105 https://t.co/4N0k8hq26T
