    Gahhhhh. If you want to hire more women into leadership, you can’t require that they’ve already done those roles. THE POOL WILL NEVER GROW.


    @imdominating Ugh. Screw that shit. 😡


    @thisismywww It is indeed! Must’ve been taken 2+ months ago then. 😀


    @iRambuk @auxesis @yow_oz We’ll also be recording the talk tonight in Sydney – possibly even live streaming!


    Congrats @canva on being named Australia’s Coolest Tech Company 2nd year in a row! (And heh. I’m in the photo.) https://t.co/GIg795XCF4


    Great crowd for @auxesis’s #yownight at @canva in Sydney! @yow_oz https://t.co/u17b5G84a0

    The @DTO staffs their delivery hubs with the best private sector talent they can find. #yownight https://t.co/5kwUNHqfNC


    I love that the very first item on @DTO’s Digital Service Standard is “Understand user needs.” #yownight https://t.co/f1KLEOTUvN


    In government – or any large organisation – find the subject matter experts. You’ll make your life a lot easier. #yownight


    If you insist on “big deal” assessments/gates between project stages, it’s not Agile. You’re doing waterfall by a different name. #yownight

    @Erdbeervogel @GGDmelb @SEEK_Geek @seekjobs @kaylajheffernan Wow, looks fantastic. Great job @annakelk and @hima_tk!


    @developerjack Sadly, I know a lot of hiring managers who would thank him for that approach.


    Found out that a good friend has been harassed by male online stalker for 3+ years. Blog comments, emails, phone calls. INCANDESCENT RAGE.


    @lifeasdaddy Kinda hard to pursue though when they take pains to hide identity.

    @hellomista I’m from the American Midwest. I spent 22 years of my life there. Am I qualified? I escaped because so many WERE bigoted racists


    @mmastertheone Thanks. Moomins always appreciated, but this week more than ever!


    @hellomista And not only uneducated, but openly hostile to me as a “school nerd.”


    @hellomista I don’t mean to have go at you, but rather idea that no urban lefties understand Trump supporters. A lot of us came from there.


    @Malarkey We miss you two already!!


    @hellomista I know. And there are plenty of good folks in the Midwest. (Waves at @imdominating and @Justacogitating) & I know anger doesn’t


    @hellomista change people’s minds. But I also believe you call a spade a spade. The majority ARE uneducated. A lot are bigots.


    @hellomista I’m just tired of making excuses for people and I’m embarrassed and ashamed this is where I came from.


    @hellomista I shouldn’t still be so livid. I just did yoga. 😂


    @hellomista I guess right now I don’t much care if racists get their feelings hurt by me calling them racists. Clearly, I need more yoga!


    @mootpointer Ha. Gary from @Domaincomau showed a graph at meetup the other night with regular huge spikes. What’s that? Saturday.
