    Huge crowd for @ashlebug’s talk on accessibility and neurodiversity. Great to see such support at #DDDBrisbane for an important topic! https://t.co/iB0bTFVhWq


    Key takeaways for supporting neurodiversity in the workplace from @ashlebug: rethink the interview process; train managers to recognise and support strengths; empower through advocacy; and have frequent 1:1 catchups. #DDDBrisbane https://t.co/Xjt0KYdVpE


    First ever tech conference where they’ve given me an awesome knitting bag! (That’s what they’re for, right??) #DDDBrisbane https://t.co/hqO9tlgKhW


    Finally get to see @girlgerms speak! We’re going to hear about common sense security… which really isn’t very common. #DDDBrisbane https://t.co/rPbwVTYPJ6

    RT @unixbigot: Amy @Amys_Kapers addresses burnout guilt. Prioritize YOURSELF. Reserve “me time” in your calendar if you have to. #dddbne


    I think the ducks may be a metaphor. 🦆🤔 @Amys_Kapers #dddbne https://t.co/4mSxNyxaQk


    RT @LareneLg: PSA: @MichelePlayfair’s festive bin chicken earrings.

    RT @secretGeek: Final section from @web_goddess talking about the value of being welcoming to newbies was very powerful and so true.


    @IngaPflaumer Did you get your laptop charger??


    @IngaPflaumer We thought so! Hey @DDDBrisbane @damovisa @BronwenZ the extra charger in the speaker room was Inga’s!


    @falican @sarahtarap Did we meet before and you told me that? I might have met her at one of my talks in Melbourne IIRC!

    @darthted @unixbigot That was one, yes. 😂


    @darthted @unixbigot Actually no – I found my research list! Here’s what I was considering https://t.co/PXeGAN3Hjt


    @darthted @unixbigot And by the way Ted – you got a shout out in the talk. I showed the Mawson balaclava. 😁


    If any of the #DDDBrisbane folks want to friend me on Ravelry (*cough* @Ilaeria), I’m “webgoddess” there: https://t.co/hgJ2dewFuX

    @docEbrown1 All levels! From junior to senior…


    @docEbrown1 This one! https://t.co/CmE1yLixqS


    HAIM have a new song called “Hallelujah” and my first thought listening to the lyrics was that they too have been reading far too much #GoodOmens fanfic. (That’s not what the song is actually about, I later discovered.)


    @melissa_loh @MichelePlayfair @thomasvjames YASSSSSSSSS 💃💃💃 I’m the last speaker of the day so he can’t miss me. 😂


    You know, @DDDBrisbane, I wouldn’t get up before 7am on Saturday for just anybody….


    I really want @Olacare_AU to succeed, but fully 40% of drivers lately have cancelled in me after accepting my ride. 😡


    @Amys_Kapers Hm. So maybe my flight is “cancelled” and I have to spend all day in the Qantas Club? 🤔


    @Amys_Kapers Shhh. It’s not really cancelled. I just don’t want to go to hotness. 😂


    Lazy sewing web – anygood Black Friday deals in Australia on sewing machines? I need a new one!

    @damovisa @DDDBrisbane @csferrie Worst kept secret ever. 😂 So excited!


    The most important question is – where’s the after party? @MichelePlayfair – you hanging around? Between us we ought to be able to pull a fun group together… https://t.co/r0amBCpifO


    @MichelePlayfair EXACTLY


    @mobywhale @johnallsopp Actually I will be more comfortable with on-the-spot… 😛


    @girlgerms @MichelePlayfair There’s three! This party is happening.


    @Amys_Kapers @girlgerms @MichelePlayfair My flight gets in at 9:30am, so I should be there in time to see all your talks!


    @devdevcharlie @Netlify WHAAAAAAAT. Congratulations!!


    Spent 10 minutes today hilariously and fruitlessly trying to use 10th grade geometry to lay out a 2x2m square on the floor with @justasitsounds before we noticed the carpet had perfect 50cm squares on it. 😂🤦‍♀️

    Self, when your @SydTechLeaders Techtivus rant requires a costume, you have perhaps gone too far. 🤦‍♀️
