    Wizard… rock star… ninja… 10x engineer. These are words of exclusivity & power, to say you’re better than other people. @aurynn #lca2017


    “But he’s got so much technical knowledge!” Ugh. I worked with That Guy. Such a jerk, but permitted to bully and disdain. #lca2017 @aurynn


    Contempt culture leads to VR that makes women sick, cameras that don’t recognise dark skinned people, etc. We think we know enough. #lca2017


    Teamwork and empathy should be First Order Principles of coding. Hear, hear! @aurynn #lca2017 https://t.co/oP1lNOLjyS


    I took the Coding Quiz for Candy out of my #WOOTConf talk on account of how @desplesda blatantly CHEATED on it at @yow_conf. 😂 #lca2017

    RT @tveastman: Oh gods, XML has found it’s way into the knitting world too. #LCA2017


    @tveastman You’ll be gratified to know that it hasn’t really taken off. I’m tempted to get involved myself. 😜


    RT @freakboy3742: Knitters represent!! #LCA2017 https://t.co/dqAvz1XEOa


    @tveastman Yes! Some patterns tell you at certain points how many stitches you should have, etc. very similar.


    @tveastman Running a safety line is like doing a git commit. I got a million of these. Had to cut em for time. 🙂


    @hannahcancode I’m so sorry I missed your talk. Been on a call for work. 🙁


    @the_patima I know @johnallsopp well… His is prettier, but mine is a calendar! Clearly we should join forces. 😀


    @the_patima @johnallsopp Shall we take it to email? I’ve got ideas/suggestions from UG heads on things that would be helpful for them!

    @gilmae @rikkiends “Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be rockstars” was apparently a confusing talk title to some!


    @stibbons I’m sorry to hear it! At least I got to run into you.

    @gilmae I ended up not so much “learning git” as “shooting the shit with the awesome guys from Github”. So I remain useless.


    @The_McJones @parisba +1. I’m up, but I’m not happy about it.

    @gilmae There was a slide with that dolphin from Johnny Mnemonic. At least I know what my nightmares will be about tonight.


    @parisba @TheRealBnut @Astarael @The_McJones Works for me!


    Kind of cathartic to tell someone your story of being bullied. Demons exorcised.

    @sarah_liu They don’t hire juniors at all. I think it’s unethical to rely on the rest of the industry to train the next generation for you.

    @thewebprincess Oh thank you! I’ve actually got plenty now. Maybe my next visit? Got a great WordPress talk. 🙂

    Just realising I have booked myself for 8 speaking engagements so far in the next two months. 😳


    @lynnlangit Haha, I finish most of mine by spruiking yours!


    @KiahHickson I started out same way! New Year’s 2015 resolution was to get a paid speaking gig. Just stick with it. 😊

    @kcidau Could squeeze in a quick hello on the Friday if you’re back then!


    @dnahodil Haha, nothing too mysterious. Just want to pay a thank you to UG heads on behalf on @yow_conf. We know how hard work it is!

    @drwitty_knitter @simonwaight @gilmae It’s a term used as tech industry jargon. Back down, Academic. 🙂


    @drwitty_knitter @simonwaight @gilmae We have a role and discipline called Technical Architecture. It’s shorthand for what they actually do.


    @drwitty_knitter @simonwaight @gilmae No, in tech “design” often means something entirely different.


    @drwitty_knitter @simonwaight @gilmae It was a very technical presentation delivered to a specific audience, not general.


    Pretty sure @drwitty_knitter just turned me into a language descriptivist. 😛


    @drwitty_knitter @simonwaight @gilmae I can’t believe I’m doing this, but… https://t.co/M1XlItVnAc

    @aimee_maree It actually got raised during my next performance review as “communications issues” with my team.


    @aimee_maree Albeit with a chuckle “we know it’s not really your fault” – but I still resented that it was even mentioned.


    @aimee_maree Yeah. I left that job. He had no repercussions. I still pass him occasionally on the street. Still makes my blood boil.
