    Does clicking the “I don’t know this person” option when rejecting a @LinkedIn invitation actually do anything? I want these rando spammers to get punished. Or is it just a placebo button?


    RT @yow_conf: #Brisbane, our #YOWnight series with @jedws on functional approaches to architecture kicks off today. Still time to grab a ti…


    @msharp @darthted 😍


    Been awhile since I was at a #YOWNight! https://t.co/IUp5t6EMMz


    At first I was like, why do I need a desk at a meetup? But this guy’s got it figured out. 😂 #commbanklyfe #yownight https://t.co/y7fW2fspum


    Hearing stories of the early days of Spotify from @ehn. @evanderkoogh is ably handling interviewing duties! #yownight https://t.co/eGpAGv2GWD


    “You only have to worry about killing products when you kill as many as Google does.” *Kris pours one out for Reader* 😢 #yownight https://t.co/tPYvBL5ZHW


    @battlepanda_au @yow_conf Nobody cared about either of those though. 😐


    Sometimes architectural decisions are driven by hiring concerns. “Even 15 years ago it was hard finding people who could develop in C,” @ehn says. #yownight https://t.co/lAueo90tDn


    @TheRealBnut Ouch. 😭


    Insider Spotify info from @ehn: playing lots of children’s music won’t impact your Discover Weekly and recommendations! They built that feature in when engineers started having kids! 😜 #yownight https://t.co/TZ0K7KBma9


    There is an advantage to being on a team building a product that you will actually use. It makes it a lot easier to prioritise features… but not every company is like that. @ehn @evanderkoogh #yownight https://t.co/rSkrrJqgVz


    @paulstovell That’s also been my experience…


    Hey #yownight folks – here’s the rego link for the Developer Night on May 1! If you’re coming to the AWS Summit, you should definitely attend. @adrianco keynoting and many more… https://t.co/qSegWs2v2C https://t.co/JQUQw0JGZk


    Anybody want to work at a VC with literally one of the BEST HUMANS IN THE WORLD, @hannahyanfield? You should! ❤️ https://t.co/UxXknNoqqJ


    @stephenlead It took me like 4 tries to parse that.


    @evanderkoogh @WaiLingKo Find one of your bank’s ATMs that accepts deposits!

    @gilmae 😂😂😂🍆


    POLITICAL EMBROIDERY FTW https://t.co/h9aJv0DXk7


    @SarahMoran @JessicaCGlenn Have you read Code by Charles Petzold? He starts with a flashlight and builds up from there with logic gates and relays until you’ve built a calculator and then a whole computer!


    @JessicaCGlenn @SarahMoran It’s a really great book. I always recommend it to anybody who works with computers but secretly doesn’t actually know how they work. 🙂


    TFW your friends really, really get you. (Thanks @darthted, @gilmae, and @randomknits!!) ❤️ https://t.co/A8WkxcbJR9


    I have a long-running Twitter DM with @rosepowell where we share horrifying neologisms that we come across. Today I added “migrapreneur” to the list. 😱

    Planning our trip to the US next month. Glad to see we’re not the only ones who learned about Columbus because of @JohnTheCho. 😂 https://t.co/7hUhRbnCaV


    @the_patima To Columbus?? Mid May!

    Tempted. Very tempted. 🤘 https://t.co/5A7VZuZw1h

    @desplesda NIGHTMARE.


    @The_McJones Rodd and I never broke up over Monopoly early in our relationship. Have never played it since.


    @The_McJones That should be the tagline for Settlers of Cataan, as far as I’m concerned.


    Some of those Spotify streams were me. Not gonna lie – this is my new favourite podcast. 😂 https://t.co/84IOsi4RHP


    @MichelePlayfair I am fairly certain that I have said most of what was in the Pride & Prejudice ep with one of my uni friends in a drunken rant.


    When the disappointment of waking up and finding the Snook already gone is immediately tempered by the unmistakeable sounds of homemade baked goods being prepped in the kitchen…

    Just did a literal double-take at the further Material Design-ification of my Google calendar. Some days I miss good ol’ HTML checkboxes. https://t.co/hKCEGHrdmu


    My new Twitter buddy @Lifeofmle is presenting for the first time at #SydCSS! https://t.co/Bno2w5JG5Q


    Big crowd at @hipages for #SydCSS tonight. Strong representation from the @CoderAcademy_au folks too! https://t.co/aNSZuKYqEb


    Early highlights of #SydCSS: meeting the elusive “Simon Gilmore,” and TACOS! 🌮🌯 https://t.co/8xuTpF9t2G


    “We have a WordPress website. We’re not gonna throw that out just so we can use Vue for sweet transitions…” @Lifeofmle bring pragmatic and getting support from the #SydCSS crowd. https://t.co/gN3CKaoW0V


    “Conversation is the best handoff.” That applies to so much more than just development! #SydCSS @Lifeofmle https://t.co/hoQeX7yekk


    Lots of interest in our second talk at #SydCSS – Benjamin from @hidovetail talking masonry layouts. (“This talk is not sponsored by Pinterest.”) 😂 https://t.co/u7vxnJrbgY


    Great way to build a talk! Benjamin is taking us through the same example using Flex, CSS columns, and CSS grid showing the drawbacks and challenges for each. @hidovetail #SydCSS https://t.co/Jaet1CPwf2


    @hidovetail The winner, if you’re curious, was CSS grid by a mile! #SydCSS https://t.co/DA2Z4Fd8LG


    Awww, @mobywhale is here in spirit. 😂❤️ #SydCSS https://t.co/ICT87Esk5t


    Thinking of adding BaaS (Banter as a Service) to my LinkedIn profile. I expect a recommendation from @dp_lewis for that one… 😂


    I’m claiming this victory. #SydCSS 👊 https://t.co/RHqoZajyiF


    @mobywhale We missed you!!! ❤️❤️ And @hannahyanfield too…


    @auxesis You just reminded me that @darthted wants to lock you in at @SydTechLeaders in May to talk about toxic cultures…


    Best. Photo. Ever. (Sorry, Declan.) @dp_lewis https://t.co/VxzpbXzyau


    @mattgillard @decryption I can second that. Networking is often a gap for many folks I see going for solutions architect roles.

    @thisismywww Bound to happen – he comments a lot. I don’t think he recognised.


    This is amaaaaaazing. // Apollo astronauts left their poop on the moon. We gotta go back for that shit. https://t.co/z32Jc68DaP via @voxdotcom https://t.co/s5KCctci2c


    @gilmae That was pretty much what one of the Metafilter comments said.


    @gilmae My other fave was: “Do you *want* the Andromeda strain? Because this is how you get the Andromeda strain.”

    @msharp @sendle Congratulations!! That’s wonderful news. 🙂


    I called Chiswick Plumbing for a quote many years ago, and they have been posting me fridge magnets and assorted spam ever since. Today I truly hit the jackpot though! ❤️🐧 https://t.co/OVZP49Ew1i


    @bazscott Oh god. I kind of want to see your desktop, but also not.


    @the_patima Because you’re a busy, overcommitted person, and this is how we get things done! 🙂
