    RT @littlehelper: LASTconf:

    #LASTconf SYD is coming. Call for proposals/Submissions is open now. https://t.co/BpCEz8E3UL https://t.co/e26w…


    @TheRealBnut @themaninblue Get with the times. I’d sew on LEDs that blinked it, of course.


    What’s the adjectival form of “Mordor”? Because honestly, that’s what this weird sculpture outside the RBA reminds me of. https://t.co/8DHCEzUSCu


    @themaninblue @TheRealBnut I already attribute 25% of my vision loss to knitting with dark wool. That stuff would ruin me!


    @themaninblue Yeah, I can see that. It just struck me as particularly NAZGUL when I was coming up Martin Place.


    Excellent news! Happy to have played a small part in resurrecting this great group. Now to get back to Brisbane so I can attend… 😉 https://t.co/3lah29dZCT


    @gilmae Let me know if it works. My system is falling apart as it is.


    RT @CoreyGinnivan: Just 3 weeks until @localhostAU Deployment. Get pumped 💪 we sure are!


    @gilmae You really don’t need to turn in homework to me. 🙂

    The most women I have EVER seen at @canva! #codelikeaboss https://t.co/qOnsUM0Atr


    OH from @canva’s Chef Chris: “Women are SO MUCH cleaner than men! They put things IN THE BIN!” 😂 #codelikeaboss https://t.co/OngqLmte3Q


    Inspired already by the @codelikeagirlau launch at @canva. #codelikeaboss https://t.co/OwjorZE5cc


    Laughter as @sallyannw points out that, for the few men here, this is 1st tech event they’ve been at where they’re minority. #codelikeaboss https://t.co/brTuPR9izp


    “Women in tech” casts a wide net. It’s very diverse, and it’s a myth that only developers count. @sallyannw #codelikeaboss #codelikeagirl


    Listening to @ButenkoMe from @NodeGirlsSydney tell story of transitioning to tech. ❤️ We need more of this! #codelikeaboss #codelikeagirl https://t.co/CBzkRyG95f


    If you think you might start a company sometime, start assembling your Dream Team list NOW. @hollyccc #codelikeaboss #codelikeagirl


    I hate it when tech events don’t publicise a canonical hashtag. #1stworldproblems


    @cbetta 😐


    Attendees of #codelikeagirlau: you should follow @codelikeagirlau @GGDSydney @WWCSyd @WiTDnD Attend meetups. Start building support network


    Protip from @sallyannw (and me): Ask potential mentor for suggested mentor names. Often they’ll end up mentoring you. #codelikeagirl


    RT @codelikeagirlau: “You can have the best app or tool but if no one knows about it…. ” – @ButenkoMe #codelikagirlau #startupaus


    “If the Google thing doesn’t work out, you make a mean cup of coffee love!” 😂 @sallyannw’s Dad #codelikagirlau https://t.co/5dq0oyhdta


    Pair programming with a guy was one of @ButenkoMe’s biggest fears. Turns out the guy was just as nervous! 😂 #codelikeagirl https://t.co/MNcW3rFRNz

    If you get invited to the table – even as the “diversity” candidate – TAKE ADVANTAGE. USE YOUR VOICE. @sallyannw #codelikagirlau


    As Madeline Albright said, “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.” #codelikagirlau #codelikeagirl


    What would you tell your 15yo self? Ignore boyfriend; ignore idiots in school; ignore voice in your head. Do the CS degree. #codelikeagirlau


    That was my own answer, btw. #codelikagirlau


    RT @catehstn: Sometimes I feel like my whole career is a test of how much I can achieve & still field questions about whether I’m “actually…


    The secret truth is – having awesome mentees is the best defence against imposter syndrome. ❤️ @soxyface


    @TheRealBnut Why didn’t you hang around?!


    @andee_marks Yet you know @starbuxman would approve! ASCII art is important. 💯


    @TheRealBnut JESS WAS THERE.


    @TheRealBnut @rosepowell The Snook tricked me into reading like 5 Pratchett, promising me I’d like it. I never really did.


    @TheRealBnut @Astarael Yes, I congratulated her!!


    @TheRealBnut @rosepowell “You’ll like the Death books!” “You’ll like the Night’s Watch books!” “You’ll like the Hogfather!” None of it worked.


    @TheRealBnut @rosepowell The only one I even remotely liked was half written by Neil Gaiman and wasn’t Discworld anyway.


    @boundvariable @TheRealBnut @rosepowell I liked bits. I even once sewed someone an Orangutan Librarian sock monkey and knitted an octarine potholder. https://t.co/Or1igborJz


    @boundvariable @TheRealBnut @rosepowell But mostly they just seemed like collections of silly puns and jokes. Not actual characters that I could get invested in or care about.


    @lynnlangit Dangerous advice though. It took me a long time to realise what I was actually worth.


    @Illdrinn Perhaps not right before bed. (Overactive imagination…)


    Woke up to a Conf talk rejection. See? It doesn’t always work out. Way more misses than hits.


    10 most influential video games of all time https://t.co/YvZhG6BUM9 Come on, @GuardianAus! That’s MS PACMAN in the photo. (Better game too.)


    @brettporter @SydTechLeaders Ha! I didn’t realise an email had gone out. Thanks. 😀


    @brettporter BTW – Met one of your newest employees last night at the Code Like a Girl launch. She just joined People Ops team last week? Really nice!
