    You listen to ONE Willie Nelson song… (Now I have to delete my Spotify account.) 😐 https://t.co/MjiyFJEJRk

    BWAHAHAHA! @GRobilliard put me in her #sydtechleaders talk. 😂 https://t.co/decJFNL0l3


    Huh. @GRobilliard says that by Australian law, companies aren’t actually able to forbid you from discussing your salary. I was not aware of that. #sydtechleaders


    Gudetama suggests you join the #sydtechleaders Slack! https://t.co/yHrLLRdP2y https://t.co/xXUYR3nd0J

    Another thing I learned tonight at #sydtechleaders: Most job ads don’t include salary bands out of fear existing staff will see them and get upset!


    Heh. @stevelikesyou is having a big week of speaking at Sydney meetups. 😁 #sydtechleaders https://t.co/5r92jEPwCA


    I’m not as emotionally perceptive as people give me credit for. So if you’ve reached out to me for help and I missed it, I’m so sorry. It’s not your fault.


    @BugHunterSam Say hello to my lovely friends at @indigitek! 👋


    RT @wolfcat: Why yes, you can now buy your own #sydneytsunami t-shirt, phone cover, pillow etc already.

    Me: “Oh! I got the results from the psychometric personality test they had us do in the training session.”

    The Snook: “Is it just a big picture of Hermione?”

    😐


    He’s not that far off, to be honest.


    @Amys_Kapers @MichelePlayfair @georgiecel ❤️❤️❤️


    @jeremybrown My Daily Mixes are usually pretty good!


    @mattallen @toolmantim Was a good flight while it lasted. 😁

    @notsolonecoder Ooof. On the plus side, it’s a good story. 🙂


    As part of yesterday’s training course, we had to draw our career journey. Mine ended up a bit more meandering and illustrative than most… but I’m okay with that. 😊 https://t.co/TfLYeetZSX https://t.co/LvH8x2M3oZ


    @AmanAlam To be honest, I ran out of time for the exercise so it cuts off abruptly!


    @saberkite That was when I met you all, at the Tribal party, right? That was before I even started!


    Scripting is wizardry, really. “I have a CSV of 1000 posts on my blog that are broken, and I need to download the images from A to B and then somehow update all the posts in the database.” 💥 (Have I mentioned lately that my husband is really smart and helpful?) ❤️


    RT @Asher_Wolf: Oh fuck off. https://t.co/7kEaGdtsXi


    @petehanssens Probably eventually. For now it’s still a WordPress blog with 18 years of content (nearly 16,000 posts)! Baby steps…

    @DataTechTalk I would normally be, but the moment my speaking is on hold – need to get PR-certified by new employer. So I’m on hiatus!

    @DataTechTalk Hi Shamma – to be honest I don’t have capacity right now to take on any volunteer projects.


    I love how in one of them, she’s basically grown up to be @Doctor_Astro! ❤️ https://t.co/0HzaTY4w2C


    Hey @Google – how come you ask me for prefs and then disregard them? I screenshotted it on Sept. 8 just to prove I wasn’t imagining it. Today setting is flipped again. 😐 https://t.co/5g1BCDchf8

    Without a doubt, my two @ignitesydney talks were the most challenging and rewarding speaking experiences of my career to date. And guess what? Submissions are open for the next one. BACK YOURSELF! https://t.co/3UWsa57rRi https://t.co/kZyRy4wmQW


    @chrisgander @ignitesydney Which one? 😉
