@dwjperry It’s my first time up here, and I fear it has ruined me. 😂 #worthit
@evanderkoogh @VirginAustralia Oh, I paid in points. 😂 It wasn’t a random bestowal, sadly.

If, like me, you’re annoyed that Google are now passive-aggressively reminding you of emails you haven’t replied to, it looks like you can turn it off in Settings. https://t.co/sLlGtB5rNs
@gilmae Using Gmail is being inside the panopticon? You run your own mailserver, you weirdo? 🙂
@gilmae You have a Gmail account. I know. I’ve emailed it.

I feel like if you graphed @unixbigot’s tweets over the course of a conference,you could easily tell when his speaking slot happens (combined with frantic slide adjustment in the session before)… 😂

@Amys_Kapers I did bring mine! I wasn’t going to pull it out until lunch. 😂
Of course @FakeSamRitchie leaves the audience with some property-based testing homework! #ylj18 https://t.co/sLvumCvc66

All the way from Europe is Tom Sydney Kerckhove! “I don’t have a lot of time, so let’s just take this as a given: Writing correct software is hard from humans.” #ylj18 https://t.co/v56LphNdT3
Tom ran through a *lot* of info on signature inference (and various things he’s done to improve on QuickSpec). I could see @TacticalGrace out of the corner of my eye nodding along the whole time! #ylj18 https://t.co/lzPeN1pkKr

@randomknits I looked up the specs. Holy shit. That’s awesome.
@falican It goes to 30. That’s pretty much the main thing. I didn’t play many of the other versions.
@gilmae I think Rodd was on the verge of citing it as grounds for divorce.
I have just committed to giving a talk about my first serverless project in three weeks… which means I now have a deadline to actually finish the thing. 😳
@malcolmsheridan I have a slightly more involved project in mind… just needed a kick to get going. But that’s a decent backup option. 😂
