    @Amys_Kapers At the last SydTechLeaders I managed to score some new stock from @CampaignMonitor and @MessageMedia1, and then I picked up some new AWS ones yesterday. 😃

    I spoke at DevFest 2017 in Melbourne, and I can’t recommend it enough. I had been feeling burnt out but the energy and friendliness of the attendees totally lifted me up! https://t.co/6IWlZQwEMr


    RT @kelleydeal: Come on Ohio!!! https://t.co/YfPVrGQzSC


    @LJKenward @Amys_Kapers @CampaignMonitor @MessageMedia1 HA! I wish. 😂


    @SarahLacrx It speaks to me. 😂


    Hey @GoCatchApp – I know you’re about to IPO, but spamming me with push notifications and actual phone calls just annoys me and makes me want to delete my account. Please CHILL OUT. https://t.co/U9CEUW1sn9


    RT @JulieOwenMoylan: I tweet this every single time this issue is raised and I always lose some followers and I never care.

    Fact..There is…


    Ugh. Just heard from someone in their coworking space that it looks like they’ve brought in an army of uni students to do the calling. Even spammier than I thought. 🙁 https://t.co/SJrwrj2xVe


    The reward for my first week! Been looking forward to this. 😍 https://t.co/MJlXU3DAlp https://t.co/ipmffskpdQ


    Appropriately kitted out for the #shehacks2018 presentations! (❤️ @currawongwhsper) https://t.co/tqPEUO2Qgw

    I have the sticker bag! Just come find me if you want some. ❤️ #shehacks2018 @tarynewens


    Realisation: I have worked for FOUR of the #shehacks2018 sponsors in my career. These are companies you want to work for. ❤️ https://t.co/8DT4PicnBT

    Next up: Recipejam! Select your ingredients; find out what you can make! Been looking forward to this one on account of the meme tweets. 😂 #shehacks2018 https://t.co/cWpwah04rT


    Loving the energy from the Heka team – an app to give users more power over their health and transparency with their GP. #shehacks2018 https://t.co/cxH2FeXIA6


    Next team begins with a demo of a voice assistant to track feedings for new mothers – Mother Hen! Great idea and use of zero UI. 🐔 #shehacks2018 https://t.co/pVcsMA7TVK


    Hehe. I caught the #shehacks2018 judges mid-selfie! https://t.co/BXQBx4dSD1 https://t.co/gvvqAoepU0

    Next up – Visble. Type in a word and get a video clip showing you how to say it in a sentence like a native speaker! Nice idea. #shehacks2018 https://t.co/GWS39uvTSU


    MeSafe – an app to help folks get home safely at night. See problem areas, send a text with your location, and call a cab. Nice app – but depressing that we need this. #shehacks2018 https://t.co/uLZGts2Yqy

    Twitter awards for #shehacks2018 went to @SerriLaw, @tarynewens, and @PKodmad! (I am slightly only bitter at being disqualified.) 😜 https://t.co/zSTUArE59u


    RT @hannahcancode: I’m really proud to be working for a SheHacks sponsor! https://t.co/Cy7J5hEXNL


    Massive thank you to @azadehkhojandi from @shvedma, me, and the entire @GGDSydney community. #shehacks2018 was brilliant, and a huge part of that was due to her massive effort as organiser! 👏❤️ https://t.co/izX0CvhHHw

    @KimAcostaSYD I was off to the side getting photos of everybody. Next year. 😉


    @LiamElliott_au Everything was very good! Lots of Australian ingredients, many of which I hadn’t had before. Beverage pairing was interesting too – some very funky “natural” wines.


    @LiamElliott_au Fave courses were the kangaroo jaffle and the folded eggs!


    Not gonna lie – did a double take at this @canvalife swag… 😂 https://t.co/JZPcuPsfpA https://t.co/xtFmSfpIH9


    @happystash I should’ve done them as a proper thread! Sorry about that. The event was a one-day all-women hackathon put on by our local Girl Geeks group. 🙂

    Well, that’s a cool note to end the week on. 😸 Thanks @TheBigMeeow! https://t.co/NRiGEC0If1


    @TheBigMeeow @annie_parker After a week battling imposter syndrome, it was much needed. ❤️


    #shehacks2018 is not about competing; it’s about learning and networking. @azadehkhojandi setting the tone for the night! 👏❤️ https://t.co/v7ARYVGYsk


    More than 700 emails went into organising #shehacks2018… 232 of which went to THIS GUY. 😂 @ureliengaudin https://t.co/EYwTsHDKes


    My only regret is that I can no longer mock @mattallen77. #ivedrunkthekoolaid https://t.co/TCzOPpCt4w https://t.co/g7iq4M8HbY


    I really wish Twitter would translate Instagram names. 😕 @mattallen https://t.co/PBymoWaHEh


    @mattallen I wonder if it’s because I used IFTTT. Maybe it would translate if I shared directly… but then the photo wouldn’t show. 😒


    Don’t underestimate the presentation part of #shehacks2018 – it’s part of learning. As women, we need to practice raising our voices at the table. FANTASTIC ADVICE! @azadehkhojandi 🙌 https://t.co/L8ftd9jOix


    Look at this huge crowd of brilliant technical women! #shehacks2018 👏 https://t.co/29SivSjIfe


    The sticker bag is open, #shehacks2018! Come help yourself. 😁 https://t.co/j1QQ7O59w9

    @hannahcancode You are!!


    @nxdnz @perrynfowler Everything about that sentence and photograph is AWESOME. 🤘


    Me: “How did my first week go? It’s like I went into the little box that shows you where you fit in the universe, and it’s a lot scarier than it was a month ago.”

    Him: “Easy, Zaphod.” 😜

    @glenngillen I was gonna edit it to sound more like me, but I can’t be bothered after three days of having my brain smushed. 😂


    @evanderkoogh @glenngillen Whaddaya mean? (she says polishing off another cup of Kool-Aid…)


    @crankymate Just seeing who’s paying attention… 😂 (I got to inspire some jealousy yesterday showing off my @canva patch!)
