    In case you missed it, this week’s roundup of Sydney tech events! https://t.co/9RHN3LzgII


    @Gaohmee My brother-in-law has been working on the film. Last year my nieces and nephews got to go onboard the Falcon. ๐Ÿ˜ญ


    @KiahHickson Living your best life!


    While musing on all things Woodcockian last night, managed to sew neckband on my new dress upside down using triple-strength stretch stitch AND THEN overlocked it. ๐Ÿ˜ญ Spent 2 hours unpicking. Reynolds would have been withering.


    @leighmgibson Yeah, fixed it! Just took some time and patience.


    @lynnlangit ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐Ÿ’ƒ โค๏ธ


    Nice big crowd for the first @reactsydney meet up of 2018! @JedWatson and @jesstelford living things off. #reactsydney https://t.co/w8j5MQtRMX


    @zarahjutz Yeah! This room is AMAZING. I want to host a @SydTechLeaders here. ๐Ÿ˜‚


    A warning from @alexandereardon that his performance optimisation tips are going to be expert-level. At its core though it’s about not doing things you don’t need to do. #reactsydney @reactsydney https://t.co/96Z0iEK5yg


    . @alexandereardon advocates using connected/not connected components as terminology in Redux rather than smart/dumb. Nice. I like it. #reactsydney


    @willmendesneto @Domaincomau Are you here? Didn’t you JUST get back from Sg?!


    Some nice “performance musings” to end @alexandereardon’s #reactsydney talk. This strikes me as relevant outside just technology: “Finding significant gains often involves significant change.” @reactsydney https://t.co/ZCz3WwmGhJ


    Charming intro from @ajainvivek, who works at Yahoo. “It does still exist, in case you didn’t know!” ๐Ÿ˜‚ #reactsydney @reactsydney https://t.co/Cze1pyRjl0

    Some excellent advice here from @Mandy_Kerr. A lot of founders expect their employees to evince ridiculous loyalty. (I heard one recently complain his employees weren’t “bleeding [company name] blue.”) This is crap. If you’re an employee, your life is more important. https://t.co/C0Nl5N2ysv

    A highly entertaining @yow_conf talk borne of @jennifermarsman’s marital discord. (Not really.) ๐Ÿ˜‚ โค๏ธ https://t.co/wWm6UXXH0V


    @betsybookworm https://t.co/fFRP6fY8BW I want everything in her store.


    My 2018 resolution was to deal with the avalanche of notifications from @Meetup. You have to adjust each group’s settings individually, and I’m in a *lot* of groups. That results in hundreds of useless emails.


    Last year I set up a rule in Gmail to just delete them. But for 2018, I removed the rule. The first notification I get for each group, I go in to adjust my settings for it. This has been ongoing for the past month.


    I just counted how many clicks it takes me to turn off all the useless “Member says ‘good to see you!’” notifications for each group. It’s 18.


    Given how many groups I’m in for my job, that will ultimately result in more than 4000 clicks. Thanks, @Meetup. ๐Ÿ˜


    @JessicaCGlenn HA! I hadn’t even thought of automating it. I was just gritting my teeth and hate-clicking through every single one. ๐Ÿ˜‚


    We’ve got a good-sized group registered for tomorrow’s @gdcfpday in Sydney, but there’s still room for more! https://t.co/cDA4C8fKES


    @mootpointer Feels more like this, really. https://t.co/6NlGekSABQ

    ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’”๐ŸŽข๐Ÿ˜‚โค๏ธ๐Ÿ”


    @JessicaCGlenn @xkcdComic True, but theoretically this should be a one-off purge. Hopefully once I’m done, never again!


    Some men just want to watch the world burn. https://t.co/ka6zhFCnel


    @richbuggy @JessicaCGlenn It’s a nice idea, but the API doesn’t support changing your notifications for a group. (I used it last year to build an auto-updating iCal feed.)


    @twasink Well like I said, I already had a filter set up for all of last year. But that deletes *everything*, and I’d still like to get RSVPs when I actually, you know, sign up to go to an event. It’s just that 97% of the notifications are useless.

    Conclusion: I left the group and sent the organisers a message explaining why.


    @frconil Seems like a lot of folks are getting poached, which is fine. As you say, a nice reflection on the state of the AU industry. I just think those leaving need to be careful how boastful they sound and the message it sends.

    Home automation with @seansonbronson! This is very relevant to my interests. #sypy https://t.co/8gCB8nqd4Z


    Arduino issues: “I’m colour blind, so I chose the wrong resistors!” ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I hadn’t thought about what a problem that would be! #sypy @seansonbronson https://t.co/mPB1QoJwSX


    @dcotterill Is it in the men’s room too?


    Impressive demo as @seansonbronson successfully used Siri to turn off his air conditioner via Raspberry Pi and Homekit! #sypy https://t.co/DAf4NAMMFt

    @carlfish Welcome back!! My suggestion is to subscribe to https://t.co/dKYqyjYSi2 in your calendar application of choice. Updates once a day. ๐Ÿ™‚


    TFW you come up with a great talk idea but you don’t want to forget it so you fax it to yourself for safekeeping… and then realise later it was a dream and you have no fax machine and you’ve forgotten it anyway. ๐Ÿ˜


    Well, this was a sucky thing to wake up to. Yep, I’m affected. ๐Ÿ˜• https://t.co/kXbc3y9pxs


    @codepo8 @JeffC1956 Okay, it *wasn’t* blockchain knitting groups. That’s one idea eliminated. Now I just need you to suggest every possible alternative in the world.


    @MsAmandaDean @levelsconf @fendersperth @AshKyd Phew! Slight heart attack there. ๐Ÿ™‚


    Just got an email from a meetup group organiser in Sydney that essentially says “Yay, I’m going to Silicon Valley but don’t worry, I’ll try to find SV jobs for you all if you’re good enough.” Seriously? WTF.


    This attitude really irks me. Like the entire Australian tech industry is junior league, but if you work really hard, you too can achieve the dream of leaving for where the real stuff happens.


    Actual quote: “Actually the important news I am announcing here is that, my new company [redacted] will provide job opportunities to work in the silicon valley for the best [redacted] in this group…”


    “If you are keen and you believe yourself good enough, please donโ€™t hesitate to contact me and send me your resume. Iโ€™ll introduce this opportunity in more detail in 2018โ€™s first [redacted] meetup.”


    LIKE… WHAT? Ugh.
