Great post from @DDDPerth on their efforts to increase diversity amongst speakers at the 2017 conf. Really proud to have been one of the women on stage! https://t.co/lzpbRBVWLJ
@yow_conf 😆😆(It hurts because it’s true.)
@Mandy_Kerr @DDDPerth Awww, thank you. It’s easier to be memorable when you’re the last talk of the day! 😂
@KenScambler @wjlow @frequeno @cwmyers Yasssss. The Lambda Jammers of the future!
@DDDPerth @Mandy_Kerr ❤️
I’m totally willing to knit these jumpers on commission for any crypto nerds, by the way. The catch is that they’re expensive and I only take cold hard cash. 😉💰 https://t.co/LRgJywEqY5
Went to a meeting last week in Melbs in a building that had a “12A” floor instead of 13. 🙄 #superstitious https://t.co/ecRqm1RfAH https://t.co/2WmCdzqWnM

Lots of folks taking their first steps with coding today! Mentors like @the_snook are helping them when they run into trouble. @NodeGirlsSydney #nodegirls #WIIT https://t.co/bA7ra8x2Hr
Post-lunch presentations. Everybody ❤️s hearing from @mobywhale at @LookaheadSearch! @NodeGirlsSydney #NodeGirls #WIIT https://t.co/WzmYr5H5eP

What @mobywhale said!! ❤️ @NodeGirlsSydney #nodegirls #WIIT https://t.co/X7xhoWEy1z
One of the best parts of @NodeGirlsSydney is seeing your friends get really into coding and learning new skills! (Go @kakaCharlotte go!!) ❤️ #NodeGirls #WIIT https://t.co/eUQpw0WF7W
@gckeller Maybe? The article is from an American site though, and it jibes with my experiences in AU, so it’s widespread enough to be international.

@lynnlangit @FrankArrigo So good. We’ll have to take you next time you’re in Melbs!
Highlight of my week: I started off my @VoxxedMelbourne talk yesterday by talking about Ted Nelson and this quote. Afterwards an attendee said he’s been working with Ted on Project Xanadu for 30 years (!) and would tell him about my talk (!!) and how “tickled” he’d be (!!!) 😊 https://t.co/NaeEaZoBwq
@jamonholmgren Thanks for sharing the quote and video – really was perfect for my topic!
@jamonholmgren They didn’t record yesterday’s, but there’s an older version here: https://t.co/Qck6Pp1odZ. I rewrote the intro and used Ted’s quote to explain why I was the closing keynote at a tech Conf.
Thanks to @craigles75 for inviting me to the @seekjobs hackathon kickoff! They really go all out. Impressed already by ideas from @annakelk, @Hatchman76 , and @shelleglee. 👏 https://t.co/zpqsnfuSZS

@The_McJones I will be testing the sommelier’s recommendation on my flight home!
@chixors I will! (And when you get a chance, I’d love the colour numbers of wool in blanket. Thinking of knitting or crocheting on a border to embiggen it!)
@the_patima @codemania Yay! So thrilled for you. You’re gonna smash it and make us all proud. 😁

How legitimate is digital art? Is it still Art when your brush is an algorithm controlled by a generative adversarial network? Mind-provoking stuff from @minxdragon. @VoxxedMelbourne #voxxeddaysmelbourne https://t.co/02lJpVOyq6

@minxdragon Each time I see the spaghetti picture, I’m surprised you don’t make a creepypasta reference! *shudder*
Even sick with a cold, @starbuxman is one of the best in the biz. I wouldn’t be speaking here today without his encouragement. Such a good kid, and a favourite of everyone at @yow_conf! @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/vVO63YAc1j
@gilmae @starbuxman Ha! He knows it’s not patronising. Because he *is* a good kid.
We are two minutes in, and already I ❤️ everything about @holdenkarau’s talk. @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/U0W0UGSXho
Realisation: @holdenkarau’s slides have little photos up in the corner. Are they all cats?! 😻 @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/LpNdJQXNbW
Try and make sure you’re not just laundering your own biases with ML, because then the computer will just be doing evil for you. @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/X2rjgg9s7z
“Is there anyone from Google here? You have to tell me. It’s like that cop thing.” 😂 @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne
@minxdragon @holdenkarau I wondered how many got the reference. Did they have Pintos in Oz??
Has the output of your Spark job ever caused a “serious” production outage? “These people suck at their jobs. These ones are updating their resumes. And these ones are lucky or lying.” You need to TEST! @holdenkarau @VoxxedMelbourne #VoxxedDaysMelbourne https://t.co/fFdMjzjpN7
