    It’s wrong that I’m leaning towards trying this, right? https://t.co/pQQYnvCzSM


    @buzzyNZ There’s a documentary program on Disney+ about props, and in one of the episodes the guy tracks down the Studebaker! Kermit’s banjo too IIRC.


    @NickyWill100 @annie_parker There’s a podcast called “Too Long Didn’t Watch” with an episode where he and Megan Mulally watch My So-Called Life for the first time, and it made me smile many times!

    @randomknits Pisces. And my superpower is definitely bullshitting. 😛


    RT @benjamin_l_s: #php developers, if you want to see PHP as a managed runtime for #Lambda, we want to hear from you:
    Why do you want PHP?…


    @benjamin_l_s I’d definitely use it, Ben! Just because I have a lot of existing knowledge there, and it would be nice not to have to relearn NodeJS every time I want to build a little serverless app (which is essentially what I do now).

    Pro tip: self tests are NOT accepted by businesses in Bavaria, so you have to get a Schnell Test. Happily I only ended up half an hour late to my appointment, and my hairdresser is very understanding to idiot Aussies who don’t read the requirements fully. ❤️💇🏼‍♀️


    I was legit more nervous about being on @mavi888uy’s show than I was about speaking at the AWS Summit. 😂 If you want advice for getting a role at AWS, check out our super fun video! https://t.co/FDkOPtSI7x

    @hannahyanfield @GRobilliard @lucykbain Actually – and this is completely random – I saw it a couple times in the “international foods” aisle at Coles Broadway. It was some weird brand though, not Libby’s.

    @HomerDong Yeah, but I live 5 minutes walk from where it’s held! 😂 (Apparently AWS Munich normally does a big team event there. I was really looking forward to that…)

    @MelissaKaulfuss @buildkite That’s amazing! Congrats – awesome hire. 💚


    @minxdragon @meelijane We got a similar one at Costco and use it enough that we shipped it halfway around the world when we moved house.


    @MelissaKaulfuss Haha, I’m sure I can find you some better trailblazers! If you haven’t been pointed there yet, there’s a DevRel Slack with some lovely and kind folks. You can join here: https://t.co/Z8jEcCODHx


    Let me tell you about startup whose login form, if it couldn’t find account for your email address, would silently *create* one. 🤦‍♀️ Customers would raise support tix trying to find where content had gone, only to learn they had multiple accounts. Great signup numbers though. 🙃 https://t.co/cGKELgFyDj


    @JustinRThiessen @minxdragon @meelijane All the Aussie stuff works just fine here with adapters, which is great. We’re trying to limit the appliances we buy that we might need to take elsewhere. So far I think the only significant investment is in the Snook’s coffee machine and grinder. 🙂
