    @gabehollombe @jashkenas I could knit that. 🤔


    @gabehollombe @jashkenas OR! We use @Spoonflower to print this up and I make us matching vests, @gabehollombe. 😜


    Excited to kick off tonight’s New Horizon’s speed mentoring sessions! #nhwomenintech https://t.co/zvDd6Rbn77 https://t.co/DueqOK52sJ


    @lemon_lime Rodd’s away. You are very very welcome to come hang out!


    Click-baity title but I definitely agree with @bigyahu here. Maybe the fact that I started my career in a hypergrowth startup in the dotcom boom is the reason I’ve never wanted to be a founder. 🤔 https://t.co/nG2tW3SeMs


    RT @dani_g_3: When I was 12, I remember my friends stepdad (who was a firefighter) comment on how he felt women didn’t belong in the fire d…


    Next @SydTechLeaders meetup will be a YOW Perth reprise with me and @mootpointer re-giving our recent talks! Next Thursday if you want to join… https://t.co/i8TsW8WuhB https://t.co/nAeYOCYtLp

    Anyone interested in sponsoring the drinks for our September meetup? https://t.co/gTNfcTFJGo


    Bloody impressed at @auscharwood sharing a photo of his teenage self along with a really honest and personal story about mental health. He’s now working at @LifelineAust, part of an org that saves people’s lives. Sydney tech community has some amazing folks… ❤️ #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/BJcHJzUOfM


    Learning about BeachOps from @AnnieTingLin at @VMwareAU. I like the sound of this! #dotc19 #dotc 🏝 https://t.co/rTv0UjyVIq


    Next up is @grant_simonds from setting the scene for a big challenge – transforming a lumbering monolith into a modern microservice-based architecture for the @Telstra TV box. It’s always great to hear real stories from local experts! #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/MxMeNBmbYu


    Wow, from 4 months for a production change down to 2-4hrs! Scaling can also change in 5 min rather than estimating months in advance. @Grant_Simonds #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/5iEjUImUeb


    RT @shainsingh: heart-wrenchingly beautiful and personal talks given by @nellshamrell and Chris Harwood. thank you so much for sharing your…


    RT @nigelwright_nz: Amazing focus on mental health this morning at #dotc19 – glad this is getting more airtime


    RT @PhilipThalis: For a better Sydney – she’s got a point .. or 2 .. or 3 ..
    #smh letters https://t.co/CV5p70FIEI


    Final speaker is Oshri Zhi from @BPAY_AU. Some very big numbers – $2B in transactions every day! #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/3m8MbqbdH2


    RT @frankarr: Visualizing big data with AWS AppSync, Amazon Athena, and AWS Amplify https://t.co/B5kGiis4YV via @awscloud


    Interesting. Both Oshri from @BPAY_AU and @Grant_Simonds from @Telstra have found mid-morning (10-11am) is the best time to kick off their releases. Team is caffeinated and ready to go, and customer impact is minimal. #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/l5hr6y6FYo


    @GlennSarti @Grant_Simonds In case of Telstra TV, it was based on traffic patterns and load I believe.


    RT @MichelePlayfair: Come and join us next week at our data-themed #yownight series at Arq Group in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane https://…


    RT @annaspargoryan: My 14-year-old’s playlist names though https://t.co/Yy1YaV8fph


    The team at @BPAY_AU have regular Improvement Days: Innov8, Automate, and Environment & “Fix It” Days. Went so well the rest of the business have started participating too! #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/xzxP9iJXVY


    Thrilled to finally get to rock an @awscloud Inclusion Ambassador shirt after being jealous of @glenngore’s! (Note to future self: make sure hair is smooth before someone takes a photo from behind… 🙃) https://t.co/jV2YznJ2EJ


    Almost at the end! Egos Cole from @fastlane_it is giving us some very pragmatic tips for regulating DevOps. (He also pointed out how many folks were willing to plug their mobile phones to charge in a strange device!) 😲 #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/M9Iz8TvwFe


    @desplesda We missed you! 👋


    Final speaker is my buddy @nathenharvey challenging the audience right out of the gate: “SRE comes from the mindset that the most important feature for any system is reliability.” #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/VerFCKsZO9


    RT @DevTestRepeat: Drinks with @DevOpsTalks #dotc19 https://t.co/vMIIdKvPTn


    This weekend JUST. GOT. INTERESTING. 😁 @AnthonyRees @paultook https://t.co/fzvJpBXzzN


    Closest @unlikelylibrary and I have ever come to an argument: Captain America vs Aquaman. (For the record, while Momoa is hot, he also looks smelly. Captain America = #1 forever amen.) https://t.co/7Zd3IU6E2V


    Well that’s different. 🦄🍷 https://t.co/t5Uqje17DG https://t.co/gQ61n1Qx0t


    @seemomster @unlikelylibrary No, as in Jason Momoa always looks like he hasn’t showered in several days. Fortunately it seems @unlikelylibrary is into that. 😐


    @mattallen Quite possibly. I was not a big fan.


    @ManuelaDavo @unlikelylibrary More of an “unshowered” vibe.


    @tomandlorenzo I just realised that there’ll be a 24 year age gap between Stu and Frannie. That feels a little icky to me, regardless of how young Marsden looks. 😕


    @tomandlorenzo Just checked – Sinise & Ringwald had a 13 year gap.

    “If you’re in a startup and don’t know what ITIL is, this is a good time to get a cup of coffee.” 😂 @botchagalupe #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/2HpRmfgaiQ


    “Count the number of Review Boards you have and multiply by HOW MUCH YOU SUCK.” 😂😂😂 @botchagalupe #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/670tvWRUlV


    Next up is @markangrish from ANZ talking about how to be customer-centric, even in a big bank. Do you even know who your customer is? #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/htWQgr6fIo


    Next up is @AnthonyRees from @chef talking about “The Coded Enterprise”. He and the Chef team earned my love today by offering curvy cut t-shirts in an actual COLOUR! 👏👏 #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/9OLi5p2vx2


    @mattstratton @AnthonyRees @chef They also have an NES at the booth! and let me play it! and were very kind when they later told me I had to share with others! 😂


    Next speaker is Carmel Hinks from @Atlassian, talking about an iterative approach to metrics and dashboards. Love that she started preso with an overview of a particular problem space for context! #dotc19 #dotc (Also, “Sherlock Holmes (DevOps Advocate” 👏😂) https://t.co/SXftUNVfXV


    Carmel says @Atlassian didn’t invent TechOps, but they found it super helpful to iterate on operational health. #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/3Vjuy2VnbQ


    Next up is my colleague Brandon Grenier from @awscloud and Yuri Belenky from @NAB talking about Continuous Governance. Again, emphasis on expressing things in code, lots of automation. DevGovOps? 🤔 #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/1vNXMYtyaN

    Final talk is @Hatchman76 from @seek helping us learn from incidents. Some interesting numbers: 160 AWS accounts (“about 150 more than we need, truthfully”) and 1000+ deployments a month. #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/JAY9uOs6rq


    @Hatchman76 @seek Or was it a year? Still a big improvement over where they were!


    “We are not building cars at @seekjobs,” @Hatchman76 says. Root Cause Analysis doesn’t work well on complex systems, because you’ll overlook possibly quite a lot of the contributing factors. #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/ebDZNWaqF1


    RT @MeCookieMonster: Me just took a DNA test turns out me 100% cookies…


    Day 2 keynote is @nellshamrell, who starts off with a thoughtful and welcome thank you to all the folks who make events like this possible. 👏👏👏 #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/G61f13sxS1


    . @nellshamrell is giving us a whirlwind overview of best practices in open source governance at scale. Useful automation tools in your arsenal are templates, linters, and CI/CD pipelines. #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/Vhr1qLV7hC


    @AnthonyRees @DevOpsTalks @nathenharvey ☺️❤️


    RT @AnthonyRees: These 3 people make @DevOpsTalks great 👍

    @nathenharvey @web_goddess https://t.co/dAVDovcW3M


    So impressed and proud of @nellshamrell for bravely sharing her burnout story with the @DevOpsTalks community. “It is not possible to push through burnout and come out the other side okay!” More folks need to hear this message! #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/h3agX5TPhP


    To capture knowledge from super busy folks who are critical to your project/company, consider a simple screen recording! Good idea. @nellshamrell #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/W9j1RTEfVt


    Next talk is @auscharwood talking about mental health, EQ, and performant leadership. “Social media is bullshit. Constant smiling is not high performance.” WELL SAID. 👏 #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/FOlz2ix2bn

    With both of us travelling last week, I used @madpawsau to find a cat sitter comfortable with giving an annoyed Petey cat his thyroid medicine 2x a day. Happy to report it went really well! You can get $30 credit if you want to try them out: https://t.co/g3QLduVgUA

    I think you can tell who the straight man is in this particular comedy duo. 😂 https://t.co/k2r6DQ66MI


    First speaker is legend @botchagalupe explaining that you can’t “Lean, Agile, SAFE, Devops, or even SRE” your way around a bad organisational culture. #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/m5rIEtJrl5


    For the record, if anyone wants to make a Peter Falk animated special, @botchagalupe does a very good impression! He’s talking about Organisational Forensics… #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/aG8OdOWOHr
