    Snuck into @randyshoup’s talk just in time to hear about Growth mindset – something I’ve been trying to cultivate for a while! #yow18 https://t.co/tfGua4413m

    It’s been great to see the number of women at #yow18 this year. Thanks @randyshoup for invoking our patron saint Admiral Grace Hopper! 👏 https://t.co/RhOQ6skGhj


    One of my favourite people – @shvedma from @GGDSydney – introducing the final speaker for the day in the red room! #yow18 https://t.co/lizsDrz2gj


    What metrics do you use to measure the performance of software teams? @CatSwetel dives into a topic near and dear to @SydTechLeaders’ heart… #yow18 https://t.co/qR8pfyPSwn


    @frankarr I’m sure @glenngore is revising a future talk as we speak… 😂


    TIL Aussies don’t know what Weebles are! (But I do…) @CatSwetel #yow18 https://t.co/rauOlsoZG3


    Even when @WoodyZuill isn’t at @yow_conf… he’s still a presence. 😉 @CatSwetel #yow18 https://t.co/A6oVNaAD17


    The truth is that most tasks involve 5% value-added activities… and 95% wait time. If you ask someone to estimate based on their effort, it’s not going to tell you the task duration. Also, the best place to optimise is cutting wait time! #yow18 @CatSwetel https://t.co/PN3T052wfM


    Seeing The Breeders at the Sydney Opera House. She doesn’t know it – 16yo me, back in Indiana – but the future is AWESOME. ❤️ https://t.co/ppnkO0cUA4

    Some failed approaches to transforming a monolith: Clean Then Separate (never works because you can’t stop feature development long enough) and Entity Services (you end up with a distributed monolith). #yow18 @mtnygard https://t.co/NIraPFkKpn


    Ahhh, the eternal lure of Clean-sheet Design. “We know so much more about the domain this time! We’ll do it better! We’ll do all the stuff we didn’t get a chance to the first time!” Famous last words… #yow18 @mtnygard https://t.co/625GdwYoNf


    @jonoabroad @mtnygard He’s literally still delivering, so nope. 😂 @yow_conf usually put them up in the new year.


    Deleting code feels wrong because we invest a bit of ourselves in it, put a bit of our animus or soul inside. (I really like that image.) #yow18 @mtnygard https://t.co/wlkyO1YYZn


    Secret tech author knowledge from @neal4d: “Writing books is hard. Signing them is the fun part!” 😂 If you’ve got one of Neal’s books, bring it to #yow18 and get it signed! https://t.co/9ZCEAeVqIR


    @jonoabroad @mtnygard @yow_conf Uh, because it costs money to bring people to Australia and they sell tickets for this! If you could just watch it online right away, no one would pay and it would all disappear.


    Distracted from @neal4d’s talk because his accessorising is ON POINT. Red specs, watch band, and sneaks. 💯 #yow18 https://t.co/VPuVHPmTTM


    “Can anyone in this room tell me which Javascript framework you’ll be using two years from now? OF COURSE NOT!” It’s hard to make concrete plans about the future. #yow18 @neal4d https://t.co/L32khi8b4u


    @jonoabroad @mtnygard @yow_conf They’ll all be up eventually. 😊


    His clicker is red too!!! 👏👏👏 #yow18 @neal4d https://t.co/1vyCMD9mcr


    @gilmae Wow, @hannahyanfield’s “ode” reference really sent you down a poetic rabbit hole.

    To test your evolutionary architecture, you need fitness functions. Netflix’s Simian Army has some good continuous holistic examples, like the Security monkey and the Conformity monkey. #yow18 @neal4d https://t.co/S2pxfMf28G


    “Architects love to throw out a word like ‘maintainable,’ drop the whiteboard marker, and walk out of the room… leaving all the develops looking confused.” Yup. #yow18 @neal4d https://t.co/XSuXW5PTBX


    TIL about Crap4j, an open-source software metric of how crappy your Java code is. 😂 https://t.co/NG1ydOxdTN #yow18 @neal4d https://t.co/k5e1u7bkbP


    @MichelePlayfair Ricky has one. He showed me at LJ last year and I about fell over.


    LOL. TFW you give spin advice to a contestant and they win an Echo Dot! Come visit us at the @awscloud booth at #yow18 and have a go yourself! https://t.co/ziBJKEOikg

    @clairettran Hi Claire! Are you only looking for women coaches, or can men help? I know a guy who might be available.


    @Amys_Kapers THAT VIDEO IS GIVING ME ANXIETY AND I BLAME YOU.

    @yow_conf @daveathomas @MichelePlayfair @apaipi @smithcdau My kingdom for an edit window. 😂


    Changes at #yow18 that I ❤️: online program to save 🌳; new lanyards that keep your name in front (and name in BIG text); GREEN shirts; and wifi!! 🎉

    Still resisting new logo though… 😜

    @Dicedotcom But you’ve done it so poorly! That’s not my correct job, and you have me living in the wrong country. And sharing my email address (which isn’t public on @linkedin) isn’t cool either. If you’re going to scrape, do it better.

    @msandfor Ha! You’ll have to get your own. The Snook is looking forward to coding with it!


    @DanishDhamani @jonoabroad @LikeSoApp @getummo @OraiApp Oof. It looks good, but cost is way higher than other options. Thanks for suggesting though.

    A recruiter reached out to me this morning about my @Dicedotcom profile. The problem is – I never set one up. Someone has scraped my @LinkedIn (listing me as a PHP dev, which I haven’t done in over a decade!) and posted it there. 😠 https://t.co/ojREd9lAyp


    @Dicedotcom @LinkedIn AND! I can’t even delete the profile, because whoever set it up didn’t use my email address (though they did include it on the profile page itself). https://t.co/PnQtNCandx


    Oh look. This has been happening for a long time now. This is really not cool, @Dicedotcom. It also didn’t impress the recruiter who contacted me, having wasted his time reaching out to an unsuitable candidate in Australia. https://t.co/Tx5aw0Dlm9


    @Amys_Kapers @Dicedotcom @LinkedIn Of course.


    @darthted I do like their chili… 🤔

    RT @WallaceRitchie: @peterdaou Not surprising. https://t.co/S5aNPe93Fa


    @jonoabroad @gilmae It’s this one: https://t.co/E3xF1yGbgu


    @jonoabroad @gilmae Why just baking? Why not all cooking? I’m very comfortable calling all of it a craft (with inventing/creating new dishes as art).


    @jonoabroad @gilmae Knitting or sewing from a pattern can involve creativity but usually doesn’t. Like following a recipe.


    @jonoabroad @gilmae Cool. Well imagine some techbros decide you’re really FOODHACKING, publish a magazine and start a “movement” around it, sell lots of techie crap, make lots of money, and graciously concede that “baking is totally part of the Foodhacking family!” 🙄


    Went to install @getummo and it’s not available in Australia. 🙁 Anybody know of something similar? I found @LikeSoApp but would like to compare before I drop $8.
