    @dddsydney @frankarr 🤷‍♀️ https://t.co/j6uGAJtL0O

    RT @MissAmyTobey: Slack DM networks would be a fascinating view of org structure

    @drzax I’d say no. “Kris” is not a nickname for “Kristine.” (This is where my references to “the Snook” confuse people, because it is in fact his name.)

    New dream: retire from tech industry and spend all day here at UTS textile lab. https://t.co/Tpig1D7YkQ

    Trying to decide between these two legends’ talks. “Mine doesn’t mention TypeScript,” says @IngaPflaumer. SOLD. (Sorry @hannahcancode.) 👩🏼‍💻 #dddsydney https://t.co/c5sKUv6qPh

    @MissAmyTobey @mootpointer In my experience, the real org health metric would be the number of times “Moving to Whatsapp…” gets posted in your company chat app.

    Selfie with our keynote speaker @ButenkoMe during the tea break. Incidentally, you should volunteer to help at @MusesCodeJSSyd! (Yes, even men.) I’ve done it and it’s awesome. #dddsydney https://t.co/9MCOcNP18W

    This escalated quickly. (It’s been 20+ years since I studied calculus.) 😳 #dddsydney https://t.co/OeAx2YrtIR

    @robdmoore I know, but I can’t help think of this… https://t.co/LtBYgjDtto

    About to kick off @IngaPflaumer’s session! And hey, @BugHunterSam is live-streaming here: https://t.co/K67iQ5Vc52 #dddsydney https://t.co/4RjPB7Ddf3

    RT @DrJosh9000: Coming up, the talk I came here for #DDDSydney https://t.co/LlGpEfP6UZ

    “Teach girls bravery, not perfection.” TED talk recommended by @IngaPflaumer – bookmarking for later. #dddsydney https://t.co/5DTDEeollo https://t.co/1unCNdrqzW

    “If you can’t explain your idea to your team with 7 boxes and 8 arrows, it’s too complicated.” @IngaPflaumer on working with junior devs (or anybody, really.) #dddsydney

    Duelling selfies with @MichelePlayfair from @yow_conf at #dddsydney… https://t.co/fhOLEvvaY5

    For immediate press release: my new personal brand is “Kris Magenta,” which is a portmanteau of MAGical + mENTAl, which I feel truly captures the essense of me. 😜 #gentletroll https://t.co/9ojbd4935e

    @Amys_Kapers To make you think. And it worked, see? 🤓

    @mage0r @chixors Move to Sydney and we shall set up a Club and this will be our Clubhouse!

    @robdcrowley You’re all so very serious about it! I had to tease a bit. 😉

    @frankarr I thought you’d like that. 😂

    Listening to @kjacobsen talking about banks and security, and he just used the phrase “person-in-the-middle” attack. I like this. 👏 #dddsydney https://t.co/jipg0oOkU8

    The fear of getting a security disclosure tweet like these from @briankrebs keeps people like @kjacobsen awake at night. What’s the solution? security.txt #dddsydney https://t.co/Vjj1ccWlGT

    Machine learning is really easy to learn… if you know what to learn. Refreshing honesty from @jernej_kavka, who struggled until he found https://t.co/nj3FZkgxs6. #dddsydney https://t.co/I9j9YSvH9h

    Final speaker is @meliss_houghton on Imposter Syndrome – such an important topic! #dddsydney https://t.co/fMkzuGUuI5

    RT @MichelePlayfair: “When I was asked to do the locknote at #dddsydney I thought: Why me? I thought it might be a prank.” – Yes you did lo…

    Totally agree with having a work journal. It’s something I recommend to everyone on my team. I also keep a “good stuff” file for compliments and nice feedback. Reflecting back on these is so helpful when you doubt yourself! @meliss_houghton #dddSydney https://t.co/NzCB0zcufG

    @dddsydney Done!! See you tomorrow. 😉

    I am informed that I was the very last person to buy a ticket for @dddsydney! I also arrived at the last minute, just in time to see @ButenkoMe’s keynote. ❤️ #dddsydney #dddsydney2019 https://t.co/9QbGK09lD4

    A wall of fabulous hair from @ButenkoMe! #dddsydney 💇‍♀️ https://t.co/9pe6d6XRcx

    Just realised this is the first conf I’ve been to in years where I haven’t been a speaker, volunteer, or organiser. I’m just, like, an attendee. 😳 #dddsydney https://t.co/OLEZDfhGBn

    @stowball @Meetup You just have to turn off all the email notifications. Luckily that only takes like 12 clicks *per group*. 🤬

    @MichelePlayfair @Amys_Kapers @the_nathanjones @slace I’m also here and could facilitate handoff to Amy at PubConf… after I mop the stage with her. 😉✊

    @the_nathanjones @MichelePlayfair @Amys_Kapers @slace You come at the Queen, you best not miss.

    @Amys_Kapers @MichelePlayfair @the_nathanjones @slace @larsklint Wouldn’t matter. I once destroyed @twalve at a Web Directions debate where I argued mobile sites > responsive web. You’re just lucky I mostly use my powers for good these days. 😈

    @MichelePlayfair @PubConf https://t.co/aorFRtW8SA

    It bothers me that there’s no actual purple in the branding. 🤔 https://t.co/0ZgwKIVLmi

    I literally couldn’t think about anything else for the first 10 minutes of the meeting. 😐 #monster #why https://t.co/ihTVdBsFdk

    LOL – I’m watching an internal sneak preview of the #awscommunityday recap video, and the camera caught the moment @minxdragon and I took our selfie! 💜 (Full video will be published soon, I’m told.) https://t.co/hiie4bYJHl

    @TheMartianLife As soon as the meeting was over and no one was looking, I put it on its side. Now I can sleep at night. 😂

    RT @darthted: One more sleep until @SydTechLeaders Sept meet up, the YOW! Perth Reprise. Still a few slots available. https://t.co/kdXnASW…

    Trying to figure out how many folks are actually using my Aussie Meetup Calendars. According to Amazon CloudFront, there were 386 requests yesterday. But these are for subscriptions in calendaring apps, so who knows how often those apps refresh… 🤷‍♀️ https://t.co/cPr80bo3gv

    I would’ve thought that apps like Google Calendar would cache the same URL for multiple people, but I can’t find any documentation of whether that’s true or how often Google Calendar refreshes. 🤔 So maybe the real total is higher, I guess.

    @_neozenith Oh nice! Here’s mine: https://t.co/jm7Zj3HWkV . Hmm, looking at the Newwwie one, you’re using v2 APIs. They’ve been deprecated – you’ll need to update. 🙁

    @_neozenith I could add Newcastle… Lemme try it and see what it looks like. 🙂

    @_neozenith Try this out in your calendar app of choice: https://t.co/Iq3Z1MGFBV

    RT @Cary_Elwes: There’s a shortage of perfect movies in this world. It would be a pity to damage this one. https://t.co/5N8Q3P2e5G

    @emd3737 I’m all about those spicy memes. 😂

    @_neozenith They’re also removing API keys and forcing OAuth, so hopefully you’ve got that covered too… 🙁

    @msharp After knitting my own Bokaclava and entering it in the Easter Show, I have nothing to prove. 😈 https://t.co/j0lnZtV1eE

    @dalanmiller They’re listed on the Github repo! 🙂 https://t.co/jm7Zj3qltn

    I LOLed. 😂 https://t.co/dbMWCxfDJV

    @DamonOehlman @msharp Well it would help if I could find the damned thing. Maybe I gave it to someone. Or maybe it’s demonic and slunk off in the night. At any rate, it’s on my Ravelry page. 🙂 https://t.co/9Op91HpJjY

    @mmastertheone For a moment I got super excited that it was going to be a Lego Moomin House, and now I am obsessed with this concept and it needs to exist. @MoominOfficial – please make that happen!

    @SydTechLeaders @darthted @SydCSS @dp_lewis @msharp And that should’ve been from my account, of course. 😜

    Great energy at @BlueChilliGroup today for the @shestarts showcase! So far I’ve met some inspiring founders tackling mental health, agriculture and farming, waste management, and recruiting. https://t.co/MmYDsBUJmF

    Kicking off #yownight at @arq_group! Looking forward to hearing from @daveathomas and @awscloud Community Hero Gus Nalwan from @carsales… https://t.co/1oM6evEFV2

    Incidentally, the Call for Papers for @yow_conf YOW! Data is now open! https://t.co/iM7TOhywP0 #yownight https://t.co/UpvUZGKrMQ

    First talk is from Gus on Mystique – the fight against rego plate cloning. I suspect this is going to involve AI… 🤔 @carsales #yownight https://t.co/MmO5qZTr2A

    Oh very cool. @carsales used @awscloud Sagemaker to detect the bounding boxes of rego plates. Two weeks of dev time… 75% of which was spent prepping the data! #yownight https://t.co/8U10aRvBIp

    Second talk is @daveathomas from @yow_conf and Kx Systems on NewSQL and “why it’s a dumb idea”. 😂 #yownight https://t.co/XRFbqwbYZh

    “Being a row farmer really sucks…” Love a good @daveathomas rant! #yownight https://t.co/yXKXOGBN2O

    Me: “Alexa, play Taylor Swift’s album Lover.”
    Alexa: “Sorry, I can’t find any album called Love Her.”
    Me, in thickest Strine: “Alexa, ply Taylah Swift’s album Lovah.”
    Alexa: “Coming right up.”

    18 years in this country and Alexa is finally training me to have the damn accent.

    @shermozle It’s so awful. I literally have to channel Kath & Kim in my mind. 😂

    With the Snook away for work, it’s my responsibility to water his garden plants. Trying to resist the urge to go full Crowley and berate them for not growing verdantly enough… 😈

    @twasink It’s pretty much a given that I’ll destroy at least one accidentally, so it’s really just spinning it as intentional to scare the others.

    @puffnfresh @saberkite @shermozle Actually an American (one of the speakers’ partners at YOW Perth) said that I sounded convincingly Australia. @FakeSamRitchie was there. He did not agree.

    @ahontwi I think it depends what language you set it to. Ours is set to Australian English.

    This made me laugh until I cried. GENRE GENRE GENRE GENRE 😂😂😂 https://t.co/hoBFNxj9kH

    Just discovered that my AWS Community Day video is online! Not to be vain, but… my hair and makeup look GREAT on the video. So that’s a win. But as usual I talk too damn fast… https://t.co/0a2cAimAmx https://t.co/i8uK1TpSKY

    @mobywhale Yep! 👋 I’ll DM you @paulfioravanti.

    @BesseIFunction I’m not happy with the fit – even after three toiles – but others also wrestled with that pattern so at least I know it wasn’t just me.

    @BesseIFunction But thank you ☺️

    TIL that @Meetup will only let the primary organiser for a group pay the subscription. If you’re just a co-organiser, they’ll take your money and send you a receipt, but not apply it to the group. No idea where my money went. 🤷‍♀️

    @hannahcancode Hi! 👋 I’m watching a machine learning tutorial. I feel ya.

    @DDsD See, I often have the reverse problem with all the pubs advertising “crafternoons.”

    @TheRealBnut For about 5 minutes. But that’s not yarn; it’s unspun roving. It’s gonna look like felted crap as soon as you actually use it.

    @TheRealBnut Actually I stand corrected. It looks like Yooge is a knitted and stuffed tube – like a sausage. It’s also cotton so won’t felt.

    “Oh, you’re here! At your desk! I feel like I only ever see you in the office at nighttime.” A thing that was just said to me in the office at lunch. 😂

    @FakeSamRitchie I literally said that to him. 🦇

    @evanderkoogh I am living that bachelorette life, so let me know where you end up!

    @evanderkoogh @MitchPommers @slace I wonder if any of us can finish up early enough today to get a booth at Baxter?

    @hexsteph I gave up on that. Even the ones with rubbery bits don’t work. I just get the Hollywood Fashion Tape from Priceline and cut it down into a little square. That works.

    @MitchPommers @evanderkoogh @slace I haven’t been in a while. I’d say see if you can get in, and if not we fall back to SG’s.

    @evanderkoogh @MitchPommers @slace Find Redoak on Clarence St. Look across the street for the opening with the metal gate through to an alleyway. Go in there and turn right. There’s probably a queue. Go through metal door and down dodgy steps. 🙂

    @evanderkoogh @MitchPommers @slace Yep. Don’t get eaten by the grue.

    @slace @MitchPommers @evanderkoogh I just have to power through reviewing 9 CVs, and then I’m on my way. 😭

    @MitchPommers @evanderkoogh Get a booth?

    @evanderkoogh @MitchPommers Is it busy yet?
