Impressed at live captioning as @MichelePlayfair kicks off this year’s #yowperth. Nice step for accessibility! 👏 https://t.co/fRHCJV60eE
Quick selfie with @LareneLg – hey, she’s speaking later today! ❤️ #yowperth https://t.co/IFYLtqsMq9
Congrats to this year’s YOW New Voices in Tech cohort! 👏 #yowperth https://t.co/Wrk2mjbVeO
Good advice from @daveathomas – speakers are here to interact with you, so if you want to talk to somebody, go for it! #yowperth https://t.co/HATzWGtq2F
Morning keynote is @KentBeck on “3X: Explore/Expand/Extract”. It’s his first visit to Perth! Fantastic to have someone of his caliber kicking off #yowperth. https://t.co/gmItzyb5pe

It’s very seductive as a programmer when your work has visible social impact, says @KentBeck. Totally agree! I am not inspired by work that doesn’t have a real impact. #yowperth
RT @LJKenward: “I just copied what they did” @KentBeck at #yowperth summerises software development*
full stop.

we’re done. h…
@DDDPerth 👋👋👋
When employees are only to incentivised on showing impact and no one is rewarded for spotting/avoiding downsides, it causes huge problems in the Extract phase… (though for most companies hopefully not “destroying democracy”). 😳 #yowperth @KentBeck
Always exciting to hear from @mjpt777 – “that high speed trading guy from London” (among many other things)! #yowperth https://t.co/XAF6JA7KSH
I love how @mjpt777’s mind works. It’s a talk ostensibly about code but he’s already talked about coffee, black holes, Charles Darwin, Louis the XIV, courtesy, communities… #yowperth
@FakeSamRitchie @mjpt777 Awww, bless.
@mjpt777 Now covered rules of engagement in warfare; moving on to Gulliver’s Travels… 😂 #yowperth
I love how as @mjpt777 talks about a clever solution to a multicast protocol problem, he finds a way to point out that Sally Floyd’s first degree was in sociology, and that folks with different backgrounds find novel solutions to problems. ❤️👏 #yowperth https://t.co/HLwtY8hc7S

RT @MichelePlayfair: Q at #yowperth – which of these enduring engineering practices do you find most “controversial” at clients?

Sydney’s own @mootpointer talking about your team as a distributed system. (He also has the coolest speaker photo/Twitter avatar.) #yowperth https://t.co/Mum6LFYdGK
Survey of what keeps startup engineering leaders awake at night – spoiler: it’s the PEOPLE STUFF. Especially painful given the companies that have rejected my skills near the top of this list because of my gaps at the bottom. #yowperth @mootpointer https://t.co/aEWGwUYRoT

When @mootpointer advises rearchitechting your monolith, he means getting rid of your rockstar, “10x” developers. You need to turn them into team players. #yowperth https://t.co/HyTb2lb2e1
Great intro from Ulli for @LareneLg, all the way from Brisbane to Perth for the first time ever! She’s going to be talking about Full Stack Accessibility. #yowperth #a11y https://t.co/mS5O6lmMk0
Can confirm it’s fun! I managed to snag a Redskin. ☺️ https://t.co/CjARrUT7mJ
😍 @LareneLg referring to the early days of the web, when everything was tables of Times New Roman text on textured backgrounds, and how things were actually more accessible back then… #1996forever #yowperth
@mootpointer @Azure 🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉 (10X dragon)
Most folks are familiar with the legal risk around not being accessible. Sydney Olympics, Coles are local examples that ended in lawsuits. Retrofitting is 10x expensive, so build #a11y in from the get-go! #yowperth @LareneLg https://t.co/ZY4Ddo5Pxq
One thing I really liked from @LareneLg’s #a11y talk is that she described all of the photos she used in her slides. Easy thing to do – basically verbal alt tags for those listening to talk! #YOWPerth https://t.co/rj7vqA77RP

For the final talk of #YOWPerth, @digego is going to show us how to build a modular synthesiser. Neat! 🎹👨🏻💻 https://t.co/8czMQr7cr0
