@brianleroux Just saw you’re coming back for @webdirections! Nice one. 😃
Public service announcement: please don’t turn up to meetups if you haven’t registered. Please don’t assume “waitlist” means “I have a seat.” Love, a beleaguered meetup organiser 😢

@charis @trannosaurusma Depends on the venue. When it’s one that requires names to be preregistered with security and where they have already allotted 2x tickets, dropins don’t work.

No offence to previous #sydtechleaders speakers, but having UX experts on tonight’s program means the slide design is 💯👌. https://t.co/ZTGQD5PeIV

@jonoabroad @bencrothers This one doesn’t count since I help run it. 😂
Did I mention @darthted shaved his beard? It’s freaking me out. Suddenly flashing back to the time my Dad shaved his moustache in the 80’s. https://t.co/obnWavcF2T
Useful tip from @diversionary to frame your discussions around “How might we…?” #sydtechleaders https://t.co/dvW7g2ZXWG
Look at the hacks and workarounds your customers use. It will show you their mental model, and what needs they have that aren’t being met by your product. @bencrothers #sydtechleaders https://t.co/xdj3oSjF4l

Apologies to all the lovely folks who asked me about my new job tonight at #sydtechleaders and got a very short answer! Hosting is more stressful than it looks. 😂

My bus driver has the classical station playing loudly. It’s given the whole ride home a rather theatrical vibe. I like this.

@pnc18 Heh. I shared that one a few days ago. I found the reference to Starbucks and spelling of “Mom” rather telling. Those are Americanisms. Either they copied a US ad, or deliberately trying to mimic one. Either way – no, not normal.
Thankfully for them, none of these other job ads are even remotely like that awful Mongoose Gray one. (I had to laugh when I saw the email though!) https://t.co/F3iRo9YqrA
@The_McJones It you, and @starbuxman? Two awesome people in one place! If you haven’t met, you should.
@starbuxman @The_McJones You’re both YOW alumni and friends of Kris and amazing folks. It’s a home run!
Good grief. (But am I alone in hoping “Online Hiring Tournament” = Fortnite-style “last exec standing” fight to the death? I’d watch the crap out of that on Twitch. 😂) https://t.co/6gkvxAx6IS

@bloodyquantum That doesn’t work so great when it’s a calendar application. Time zones need to be baked in. 🙁

1000 likes and still climbing. Clearly, we need to lobby the United Nations about timezones.

@gilmae Bonus points if you wear it Thursday!
Me: “So what happens if you have a cron job scheduled and then daylight savings happens?” 🤔
The Snook: “It doesn’t run! ASK ME HOW I KNOW!!” 😡
@ArnaudEsteve Doesn’t work for calendar apps that need time zone support built in.
@porteneuve Coincidentally, it was a calendar app that prompted the rant. 😂

TFW you rant about time zones as a way to exorcise them from your soul only to have it go viral and people keep tweeting you helpful tips about time zones two days later. 😕
Another job description going around the @GGDSydney Slack today. Companies – don’t do this. Women notice. We remember. (I can’t even imagine a real person of any gender who’d want to work in this place…) https://t.co/LPNAuIGWMU
@warkolm @GGDSydney I do think they were right on the money with the assumption that it will appeal most to dudes living in their Mom’s basement.

@thepanta82 @tobyhede @GGDSydney Right, but this comes across less “unique office culture” and more “no smelly girls or wimps.” 🙄
@Simon_Lucy @bloodyquantum I can’t tweak the display, as I’m publishing a calendar file. I need to specify the time zone of the event. I also have to deal with dates coming from third parties.
