    @HeartOfPluto_ @craigles75 @yow_conf It’s weird for me to see the tweets and not be there! ๐Ÿ˜ญ


    Today I learned never to play the “I bet I’m on more work mailing lists than you are!” with a Google SRE. ๐Ÿ˜ณ


    @unixbigot @Amys_Kapers Holy shit, yeah, run away!

    This is amazing. It describes my entire tech career – why Iโ€™m not an engineer anymore, everything I did at places like Canva, why I hit a ceiling on promotion, and why Iโ€™m still trying (and often failing) to Be Less Glue. @whereistanya – you nailed it. THANK YOU. https://t.co/NyJULQ8Vzg


    @alicegoldfuss @whereistanya It describes something Iโ€™ve experienced and known in my bones and never put words to. This is ME. Thank you.


    RT @abbyfuller: this whole thread ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

    @alicegoldfuss said it better than me, but this is so worth looking it-. “Glue work” affects SO manyโ€ฆ


    @joneaves @joshprice @whereistanya Right, but have you ever gotten the โ€œNot technical enoughโ€? My last three job interviews all went there. Women in glue work tend to get tarred with that brush more frequently, Iโ€™ve seen.

    Lazyweb: anybody know of a place in the Sydney cbd where I can pick up a plain sheet cake? Like Costco style. The Town Hall Woolies doesnโ€™t have them…


    @tommyjowitt Probably a bit too far. I want it for SydTechLeaders and Iโ€™m already in cbd.


    RT @MichelePlayfair: Dave Thomases! Gotta catch em all…

    RT @SydTechLeaders: An impromptu righteous side rant from @gilmae about the importance of paying your engineering team for their support hoโ€ฆ

    @simonwaight @SydTechLeaders Rest assured – it’s in my rant. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @darthted @simonwaight @SydTechLeaders I unreservedly think the Opal card is technology that has made an improvement in my life.


    @darthted @simonwaight @SydTechLeaders Beyond that, I struggle.


    @gilmae @darthted @simonwaight @SydTechLeaders That was me listing something that is *not* in my rant, thank you very much.


    The Sydney AWS user group is kicking off. Full house for the re:Invent recap! https://t.co/b2fpVHuSbO


    Lots of questions coming from the audience about new AWS features – Lambda Layers, License Manager, Outposts, and more… @JasonUmiker is well-prepared! https://t.co/P16KHzMhze


    Ten years ago, we used relational DBs for everything, Marcus says. Now database freedom means you can use the right DB for your exact needs. https://t.co/ymBleNIwus


    @hannahyanfield @gilmae @mobywhale @DebTeakle Thatโ€™s because you are a BEAUTIFUL RADIANT SUNFLOWER and I would never rant in front of you!


    Hearing from Marcus about some of the advantages of using AWS IoT and machine learning to manage herds of cows! ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ„ https://t.co/jsjh5LreA2


    TFW you look over at a meetup and see @GeoffreyHuntley typing a DM to you… ๐Ÿ˜‚


    I just realised that @gilmae will be lugging a Festivus Pole all the way to @Atlassian on the train tomorrow for @SydTechLeaders. It’s almost like the whole meetup was one long prank by me and @darthted just to see that happen… ๐Ÿ˜‚


    Working on my @SydTechLeaders rant for tomorrow… https://t.co/GcEv5UU8Wi https://t.co/yESUdLywcy


    @damncabbage Actual thing I said tonight to the Snook: “Could you help me find, like, the DOUCHIEST CRYPTO MEME POSSIBLE?”


    @spud01au Four if you count me, and two of us work for AWS. ๐Ÿ™


    Ranting uniform: red lippy and shitkickers. ๐Ÿ’„๐Ÿฅพ @sydtechleaders https://t.co/wzkIryr29n https://t.co/eLJhEo6wQQ
