    @darthted I knew someone would pull me up on that. Twitter is different! It has personality! LinkedIn folks put like 17 checkmarks in their name and it drives me BONKERS.


    @Sitback @GRobilliard G didn’t actually cite that as her reason; she was just showing her cute dog Maki. I cheekily suggested it was to get people to go easy on her – and then quickly added an image of my cat to my own slides. 😂


    @phoebegoh I use @FullContact for that reason. I need to record context about who people are and be able to search that.

    @benschwarz @MelissaKaulfuss I rode one once just so I could be justified in my annoyance with them. They’re heavy AF, very few or no gears (in Sydney!), seat didn’t go high enough to sit comfortably, gross helmets. So even if the idea was good, the execution sucked. https://t.co/ggJjDpqFiQ


    @gilmae You = the worst.


    Spotify served up “Jimmy Olsen Blues” by the Spin Doctors in my Discover Weekly, and I mortified myself by somehow – after not hearing it for 20+ years – knowing most of the words. “I’ve got a pocket full of – kryptoniiiite!”


    @DVDBits I tip my hat to you, sir.

    Interesting. Every language you learn, you develop almost another personality, you grow. @hiconomics needed his team to stop ‘thinking’ in English. #sydtechleaders https://t.co/75d5IfQpG6

    A useful (and slight cheeky) decision tree from @paulkeen – Should you aim for transformation or turnaround? #sydtechleaders https://t.co/r9Da9izamM


    Loving the vintage Dick Smith ads in @paulkeen’s talk! #sydtechleaders https://t.co/LF8mlm4YHY


    Startups think legacy systems are 2 years old. @paulkeen is talking about systems that are 30 years old! #sydtechleaders (For a great talk on legacy evolution, see @daveathomas’s recent #yownight! https://t.co/CDpUWhBlDu) https://t.co/TGJQICGJez

    @andykelk @nxdnz I’d much rather give up LinkedIn than Twitter!


    @LiamElliott_au You’re so right! The panellists’ emphasis on people issues reminded me of a great YOW talk last year from @kytrinyx on how the big problems in tech are those messy, hard to control human beings. Computers are easy in comparison.

    @gilmae @jonoabroad As of next week, you can do whatever the hell you want. 😉


    @jonoabroad @vonconrad @SafetyCultureHQ It will! But won’t be put up until he finishes the other cities – so a few weeks yet.


    I think this is my first time seeing @GRobilliard speaking at a meetup rather than just hosting! A big birthday prompted a career pivot… #ggdsyd https://t.co/2Y0qJmfomO

    @Amys_Kapers @TarynMusgrave @thedavidthomas1 @yow_conf Anyway, yeah, slight misreading of the spec for the first lot. They’re like misprinted stamps! Rare and valuable. 😂

    @The_McJones The Snook pointed out that I should just funnel the referral through someone internal that I trust and split the fee with them. 😂
