@CatherineFlick @piawaugh @darthted @SydTechLeaders We’d be grateful for any suggestions! It’s not a conf, just a meetup of local tech leaders looking to start the discussion. Sched for Aug 22 in Sydney!
@CatherineFlick @piawaugh @darthted @SydTechLeaders Oh brilliant – just saw it now. Thank you!
TIME ZONES ARE HARD.
@gilmae https://t.co/ZHD8TtfLRx
@LJKenward @halans – whenever he’s taken a photo of me at an event, it’s turned out very nice! 😃
I feel like tomorrow is the first day of school. @AWSCloudANZ, here I come! 😍
@jonoabroad @AWSCloudANZ Hahahaha, YES, PLEASE.

RT @darthted: Does anyone care about ethics in tech? If so, we are looking for speakers to advocate in talks. Respond to @SydTechLeaders
@aurynn Oh interesting! Will check it out.
@aurynn That looks much more appropriate for personal relationships. Cloze has a “family” tag but is still mainly geared towards sales type interactions.
@kcarruthers @darthted @SydTechLeaders You said you’re not going to be there on the day! 😢 We’d love to have you.
@kcarruthers @darthted @SydTechLeaders Unfortunately that’s the only day we could get the venue. 🙁
How You Can Help Fight Trump’s Family-Separation Policy https://t.co/zPBdyPN53s via @thecut // I can’t go to to a protest or blockade ICE vans, but I can donate and contact my reps. You should do the same.

@AndrewADavidson @TheCut I think that’s the same ActBlue form from the article! That’s where I donated. Love the URL though. 😁
@darthted @SydTechLeaders I wonder if @piawaugh would be interested… 🤔
Closing out the first act with “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”? BALLER MOVE PATTI. (PS I totally cried.) 👏👏👏👏
@emd3737 I honestly thought the show was over. Turns out it’s only an interval! How the hell will she top that?!
“Just letting you know the concert hall is a little cooler than normal, at the artist’s request.” Patti Lupone, you amazing DIVA! https://t.co/4sMGnUvPvK https://t.co/3PdoxHyp9c
Patti Lupone was AMAZING. I had a smile on my face the whole time. “That’s Trouble with a T that rhymes with P and it stands for PATTI!” 😂🙌

Fourth attempt at porting my number from @Internode. 😡
@tobyhede How so?
RT @cmclymer: I made my own jacket. 💅🏼
#MelaniaTrump https://t.co/MBhGOqpWME
@Internode Called Wednesday and acct number they gave me was wrong. Called up again 20 min ago, was told it would be 8-10 minutes on hold, provided my number… and no call yet.
@Internode Oh, and called yesterday too. This is very frustrating.
@Internode DM me if you’d like more info!
@Internode Support finally rang me back. Turns out number I was given on Wednesday was missing a digit. Trying for 5th time…
Thanks to Patrick at @Telstra Store Broadway for excellent service – took us 90 minutes to get number to port from old carrier. 😳
Spending the last afternoon of my staycation volunteering to make cold calls on behalf of the @NCSS Coding Challenge 2018 – because @nickyringland and @groklearning deserve all the support!

@aurynn I was using an app called Cloze last year. Sort of a personal CRM. It can remind you to get in touch with people you haven’t contacted (across email, SM, etc) after a while.
RT @jwwweber: There’s a major, serious problem with coding bootcamp grads who have prior professional experience. I want to hire them all,…
@aurynn Tried both. I still have the free tier, and I occasionally use it when I know I have a message from someone but can’t remember where it was.
@aurynn Only used the paid tier for the team features. Was trying it out for YOW, but it didn’t have the one thing I needed – ability to search on my notes on people. I need to type in “contempt culture” and get “aurynn” back.
@aurynn Not that I’d ever forget you! 😉
@aurynn That wasn’t actually why I was using it – was more for keeping track of all the people I was meeting for my job. I found the reminders semi-useful but didn’t go down the road of customising those out properly, categorising people, etc.

@MichelePlayfair No, no lunch at the Amazons. They’re frugal. 😢
@LukeSleeman @Taipei_GTUG Such a cute idea! Totally stealing that for my next talk overseas. Best of luck!!
I should have listened to @evanderkoogh and @gabehollombe earlier. Async/await is the answer I’ve been searching for. It’s all coming together. https://t.co/e9oAPEPpxy
@slace HA! 😂
@mantaq10 Haha, nahh, I meant no disrespect to the Javascript. I am in awe of those who can wrangle. It’s just not the part I expected to have so much trouble with on this particular project!

It’s rather telling that none of the problems I’m having building my serverless app are with AWS but rather with frickin’ Javascript. 😭🔫
@MelissaKaulfuss I really should have.
@MelissaKaulfuss I justified it as thinking I was more familiar with JS. Turns out JS has changed a LOT in recent years.

Whoa, big crowd for AWS Night at @sydjs! https://t.co/EjIjXzAops
@sydjs And no, I didn’t even make it one week before going to a meetup. 😂
@coderkungfu @Meetup I had the same problem today. Had to switch to Firefox. I think the new one requires Flash?

“Everybody’s using VSCode tonight! Even our esteemed friends/competitors at Amazon!” 😂 @billba @sydjs https://t.co/XRWpwR2rwi
@MichelePlayfair @gabehollombe @sydjs Don’t mock. This is your life now too. 😂
@gilmae @randomknits I didn’t say it worked very well. 😜 @the_snook

I know that I could just hit the test button and try my Lambda out right now, but instead I’m counting down the last 3 minutes until its scheduled trigger to see if it really, truly does what I expect… 😅
@Amys_Kapers @chixors @evanderkoogh You *told* me to book that one! 😂
HUZZAH!!!! 💃
@msharp Hmm. I did a welding class at @workshop_aus a few years back. They don’t mention the ability to rent workshop/tool time though…
@gilmae I don’t even understand what I’m looking at. It makes no sense.
@gilmae I asked @the_snook last night: “What’s the worst fruit in a fruit salad?” Very appropriately he responded “Melon!”. Then his face darkened and he added “Papaya” with a shudder. So there’s another one for you tomorrow.
@jeamland @Yubico @pyconau Oh wonderful news – welcome back!!
A fitting helm for a soon-to-be Amazonian, eh? https://t.co/loUD0KddlA https://t.co/b8rb8bxEP1
Not gonna lie – the power to blackball people who are mean to be from speaking at events I organise is one of the few perks of being a community organiser. #youknowwhoyouare
@jonoabroad Quite.
@evanderkoogh Spent the day chasing the panacea of Promises as a respite from Callback Hell, only to see it was itself just another level of pain. Can’t say you didn’t warn me. 😫
@evanderkoogh Async.waterfall was my saviour in the end.
Just got my ticket for tonight’s @sydjs featuring my awesome new friend (and soon-to-be colleague) @gabehollombe!! 💃

Ohhhh. Just discovered that Tweetdeck has a “quality filter” that hide crappy replies. Turns out my post about inclusive JDs brought out some trolls, and I didn’t even see them. Actually, that’s pretty nice. 😉
@gilmae Meh. Let ‘em rant into the aether, poor sad jerks. I’m just impressed Tweetdeck knew to hide them. Sometimes machine learning is good!
RT @nelli2k: Thanks @yow_conf for YOW! New voices in tech workshop invatation. It is fantastic!
Somehow I ended up in a laneway in Sydney on a cold rainy night in a shout with a couple Melburnian refugees… @chixors @evanderkoogh 🍺🍷 https://t.co/yWcb3WSHLk
@gilmae Why are you eating watermelon in WINTER? It’s not even in season. 🤮
@emma_n_robbins @yow_conf Awww, it was lovely to meet you even briefly! ❤️

@noopkat Oh no! I know how much you love it. Are you moving away??
@darraghke Thank you!! Although I’ll admit I’m sorry I won’t get to host YOW Nights in that awesome space in Zendesk anymore… 🙂
@lindamciver Thank you! It was definitely hard to make the call to leave when I regularly got to meet amazing folks like you. ❤️
@trannosaurusma 😂 I’ll admit as a lifelong Wonder Woman fan, getting to be a real Amazon was part of the attraction!
@frankarr THANK YOU for all your advice and encouragement, along with @glenngillen and @mattallen. #awssquadgoals ❤️
@charis Thank you! Gotta admit I’m sad not to be heading back to HK for the conf later this year. I know we will meet up again though, I’m sure of it! (And WebConf looked awesome! WELL DONE to you!)
@MelissaKaulfuss Thank you! I didn’t put it in the post, but there was definitely also a component of “Damn, we need more older women role models around the place. Oh shit, that’s me now I guess?!” to the decision. Hopefully I don’t disappoint!
@charrett @MichelePlayfair @yow_conf Honestly, it would have been a lot harder to leave if I didn’t know what an amazing person was joining the team. Michele is going to crush it!
@bgever Thanks Bart. I’m sad I didn’t get to work much with you, but happy to have helped bring you into the YOW community (and us into yours)! Next time I’m in HK, I will definitely be hitting Beer Bay. 😜
@Direwolf82 Thanks Enrique! Definitely. 🙂
@levelsconf @awscloud ❤️ Thank YOU – @levelsconf and @juniordev_io have been a massive inspiration to me over the past year!
@mobywhale ❤️ Thanks Fi! *cracks knuckles* Can’t wait to get stuck in! 🙂
@petehanssens Thanks Peter! I will confess to having a peek at some of @acloudguru’s AWS-related materials. Might explore some of that during my days off this week… 😉
@groodt Thanks Greg! ❤️
@developerjack @AWSCloudANZ As one of my earliest DevRel supporters, I owe a huge THANK YOU to you, Jack. ❤️ Love the positive energy you put into our community too.
@philnash Yeah, definitely kidding myself there. 😂 Thank you!
@keisanpablo Well, not quite 2 years, but close enough. 😉 I popped by the Canva office the other day and saw this girl that I totally thought was you. Nearly gave her a big hug before I realised it wasn’t Kei! Too many strangers; not enough Kei. ❤️😜
@mattallen Mwahahaha… that was the ultimate plan: get @mattallen back to Sydney more often. My conspirator @hannahyanfield and I will be very happy if that happens! 😃
@kleeut Thanks Klee!
@bazscott Thanks! Yeah, this is the second small family company I’ve left in my career, and it’s a lot harder than the big ones. Sucks to leave, but excited for the future. ❤️
@LareneLg Thanks Larene – and especially for flying the flag for women in tech in Brisbane. So grateful that I was able to get to meet you through YOW! ❤️
@minxdragon Thanks J! Meeting you and getting to introduce you to the YOW community was definitely one of the highlights of last year. ❤️ The fact that we’re friends now and keep crossing paths is the icing on the cake!
@joneaves @mattallen 😊 #flattered
@ryanbigg @glenngillen @awscloud Thank you! Honoured (and a little intimidated!) at joining such an awesome crew!
@neil_killick Thanks Neil! Glad I finally managed to meet you on a visit. 😃
@pfctdayelise Thank you! ❤️ To be honest it was unsustainable. Over the past few months I’ve helped bring on a team of part time evangelists to spread it around, that way nobody has to feel they need to do that many!
@twasink Cheers. ❤️ Yeah, it was only when I started talking to them about a role I realised how many really great folks I know who work there!
@LJKenward Same to you! ❤️
@michaelisvy Thank you Michael! I was really honoured to have @voxxedsingapore be my last event representing YOW. ❤️
@zarahjutz Thanks Zarah! Same to you – can’t wait to hear how it’s all going over at WooliesX. ❤️
@KittyHybrid Thank you! Beginnings are always a little scary, but that’s also why they’re fun. ❤️
@alanburchill Yeah, but as a site owner (that’s my website), I have control over what categories show. I’d turned off all sensitive categories. I’m annoyed that Google apparently puts Bitcoin get-rich-quick ads in with legit finance ads. 😐
@KittyHybrid We went to an egg-themed cafe dedicated to him in Singapore! It was hilarious. 😂
@tjbyte Thanks. Yep, definitely was. I was volunteering at YOW events long before I worked for them. Being part of the team was really satisfying! ❤️
@jonoabroad Thank you! 😊
@neversleepz Thanks Kon! I reckon you definitely will. 😉
@kouky Thanks Kouky! Was pretty hilarious when @nicwinton told me he heard the news early from Sacramento. That Hebron kid, I tell you… 😂
@rotnroll666 Thank you Michael!
@majorhealy Thanks Major! Ugh, we never see you guys. Let’s make a public commitment to get the crew back together sometime this year. ❤️
@georgiecel Thanks Georgie! I’m hoping if I keep very quiet, they won’t even boot me from the YOW Slack so I can still talk to all of them every day. 😂❤️
@annakelk Thanks Anna – going to miss my regular visits to the @seekjobs office to catch up with you and @craigles75! (Although I believe he has long term plans to get me for his team…) 😜
@TarynMusgrave Thanks Taryn. ❤️ to you and the fam…
@markc Thanks Mark!
@joshprice Thanks Josh! PS your new puppy is super cute, even if he does keep destroying things. 😂
@toolmantim Thanks Tim! Hopefully I’ll still get to catch up with the @buildkite team every now and then. ❤️
@slace Thanks! You know as well as I do how exhausting community work can be. Excited to switch it up for a while. 🙂
@keirasaid Thanks Keira! Still annoyed I didn’t manage to get you speaking at YOW event while I was there. (@MichelePlayfair – keep an eye on this one!) 😃
@aidanjmorgan Thanks Aidan! Without exaggeration, being invited to locknote at @DDDPerth was one of the highlights of my time at YOW. Love what you all do for the Perth community. ❤️
@forloop Thank you Russ! 😃
@KenScambler Same to you, buddy! Look forward to catching up soon and hearing how you’re going with the awesome folks at @MYOB. ❤️
@allPowerde When I wrote the bit about amazing, inspirational people who are changing the world? That part was about you and @lynnlangit. The two of you couldn’t be rid of me if you wanted to – I’m going to be your biggest fan and wannabe friend for a long time! ❤️
@themaninblue Slight exaggeration – more like 20 months. (Which actually makes the numbers worse, I guess!) 😂 Thank you – and thanks for the intro to Hannah the other day. Always happy to help out my @canva fam wherever I can!
@msharp Oh are you?? I’m off all next week! 😉
@mattallen @hannahyanfield Hmmm, Wednesday is @sydjs I think and I heard a rumour that @gabehollombe will be there. 😉 Tuesday or Friday best for me!
@AndrewADavidson Thanks Andrew! I was so grateful for the opportunity to get to know you and some of the other folks in the HK tech community. Hopefully I’ll be able to visit again in the future. ❤️

@AshleeMcCusker Thanks Ashlee! And to think it all started with a hackathon… ❤️😉
@halans Thank you! It’s good to know people are thinking that instead of “Her?!” 😂
@clepetit LOL. Now I’m imagining you looking like a werewolf out of fear to cut your hair. 😂
@MikeRiethmuller Thank you – and great job with your recent conference talk! Saw lots of tweets – looked epic. 🙂
@StewGleadow @yow_conf Thanks Stew! And whoa, have you started a new role too? Can’t wait to hear how it’s going. Best of luck with it!
@holdenkarau Thanks Holden! Still annoyed I wasn’t able to get you onstage at YOW. (@MichelePlayfair – another one for your list.) ❤️
@alanburchill I think this falls under “not biting the hand that feeds me.” 😂 Will choose to blame those crypto fanboys!
@TheRealBnut Thanks Andrew! You looked busy and I didn’t want to bother. Should definitely catch up sometime soon! ❤️
@friendlyunit Ooh, I like this interpretation!
@veekas @noopkat I’m sad for you, but suddenly realising my new role at AWS might give me an opportunity to catch up with @noopkat in person again! #SilverLining

Tech companies who are hiring – check your JDs. When you *only* use masculine pronouns, we notice. It’s not hard to make them more inclusive. (Oh yeah, and we share them. This one came via the @GGDSydney Slack…) https://t.co/HiadkknCg9
On the phone with @GIOInsurance to lodge claim for my lost watch. Oddly, I’d feel less bad if it were a laptop, despite the added expense. This was a personal thing I picked out for myself, and I’m still so angry I lost it. 😢
@GIOInsurance Claim went through painlessly, so I appreciate that. Unfortunately I hadn’t specified it in policy, so claim covered less than half, but better than nothing I suppose. Lesson learnt. 😭
