RT @ThePracticalDev: Remember that hardware project you were so excited about? https://t.co/Mjm4mTyFsr
@lucykbain I’ve been a couple of the events in the past. I saw Anita Sarkeesian speak there last year, maybe?
@lucykbain I’m definitely looking at getting tickets for some of the talks this year, if you want to join up!
TIL that @sammy_lee12 used @canva for her slides! “I was going for fun, and I didn’t have to look at fonts or anything!” 😀 @themaninblue https://t.co/znZ27cSPU5
2016 sucked in a lot of ways, but seeing stuff like this gives me hope and cheer. Go @hannahcancode! (Need a junior? HIRE HER, PEOPLE.) 👏 https://t.co/MYax9dAw8f
Wow, a lot of first timers for the final #ggdsyd of the year! Can’t wait for @ImaMiri11, @notsolonecoder, & @joannaferrari48′s talks. 🙂 https://t.co/eT3LRfCiV3
Here’s @ImaMiri11 kicking things off by talking about my favourite topic – the positive qualities of being a perfectionist. 😂 #ggdsyd https://t.co/ps6M5INa5f
Waitwaitwait… CONS? *cough* @knitterjp is laughing behind me and sending snarky SMS. Hermione is identifying a little too much. #ggdsyd https://t.co/haq6bC62yr
Sometimes good enough is good enough. Well said, @ImaMiri11. #ggdsyd https://t.co/CRyvJktd1W
@bazscott @ImaMiri11 Unfortunately not recording tonight, but maybe we can convince her to do it at a Melbourne meetup some time!
2nd talk is @notsolonecoder talking about how people respond to setbacks and challenges. Helpless response vs Mastery response. #ggdsyd https://t.co/S9riOBKbJc
OHAI IMPOSTER SYNDROME. Damn, #ggdsyd is relevant tonight. “Women underrepresented in fields where success believed to require brilliance.” https://t.co/3ftIFaIg73
Every time I hear @joannaferrari48 speak, I come away feeling touched and inspired. She’s amazing, and she’s overcome so much. #ggdsyd https://t.co/4pCgwKBFE1
RT @sxywu: Excited to finally share “An Interactive Vis of Every Line in #Hamilton”! Filled with analysis & colorful #dataviz 😍 https://t.c…

Listening as @pyko kicks off tonight’s @WWCSyd Hack and Tell meetup! #wwcsyd https://t.co/T0loLRK4rv
Oh good grief. She went there. @sammy_lee12 is showing off her robot called Tappy McTapFace. #wwcsyd https://t.co/UL9KSrRY24
A closer look at @sammy_lee12′s Tappy McTapFace from before the meeting (with cameo by @pyko and the back of my head). #wwcsyd https://t.co/0DO0Phguey

Very cool. Amina telling everyone about her research study into ferritin and gestational diabetes. Lots of data wrangling! #wwcsyd https://t.co/sZ2JRWSwze
Next up is @hannahcancode telling us about her adventures with Arduino (using the kit she won at @GGDSydney #shehacks)! #wwcsyd https://t.co/BMGnRlQNeB
Now for games! @IngaPflaumer has recently made her first game using Corona SDK and Lua. #wwcsyd https://t.co/Hk8rDjAAFW
Next is @Sebbenbear telling us about her first Android app – The Best Fish Guide 2017! #wwcsyd https://t.co/mQtVVdnnn8

Last talk of the night is @pyko telling us about getting a web app to talk to an Arduino via Bluetooth! #wwcsyd https://t.co/zC0M2udMe4
Light OFF… and light ON! #wwcsyd https://t.co/k2RdTjaDdG
@pyko YO! Annie left her backpack. She’s in the lobby!!
@soxyface @mobywhale Awww! Thank you! ☺️ (It’s getting me to STOP talking that’s the hard part…)
@Sebbenbear It’ll be here when it opens soon: https://t.co/hTKZYCqFk2

RT @climagic: 37, the age at which Grace Hopper joined the Navy, learned logic and later invented the compiler. Its never too late to start.
@EvaNahari @yow_oz On the plus side, I got to spend so much time with you that I actually heard that *in your voice* when I read it. 🙂
@gilmae @redambition I had to look it up. Was worried there you thought it was shit. 🙂 (Did you see the new little version??)
@gilmae @redambition Wait. What I thought was the little Anova is another brand – actually second on that list. DOH.
Note to self: Need to cut down knitting talk TODAY so you can deliver for these fine @linuxconfau folks! https://t.co/dPVNxdetMd
Just discovered @NatDudley’s talk at LCA and realised she’s going to blow mine out of the water. And that’s fine! https://t.co/PpdtmRNzmi
@gilmae @linuxconfau Yeah, but it went from 5min to 40 and now it needs to go to 20. 😂
@NatDudley Mine’s at WOOTConf. It’s a cut-down version of one I just did at YOW: https://t.co/oVmWWfvuse. Very similar, I suspect!!
Slides from my #yow16 talk Knit One, Compute One are now online! #binary #computation https://t.co/7R4M5yZwt9 https://t.co/IoVzFQpSu5

@pyko @lucykbain You can with one ingredient… never tried two!
@pyko @lucykbain It does! Just have to comma separate them. I never knew that. https://t.co/ayaieQkfxW
@darthted @pyko @lucykbain Beef or chicken stock is one of the ingredients. 🙂
This was me, all day today. https://t.co/KeYHp3vyvL
RT @andee_marks: With dodgy gender binarism assumptions, the #yow_oz %age of female speakers since 2012 has been 2.7%, 7.5%, 19.5%, 16.6%,…
RT @andee_marks: Great effort by the speakers and the #yow_oz organisers for moving the needle: looking forward to parity before 2020

Third and final YOW 2016 talk was yesterday afternoon in the last slot of the day. I ended up with around 90 attendees (slightly less than in other cities), but with my best scores yet. I also had some fantastic chats with people afterwards. A male engineer said it was the perfect way to close out the conference; that he went in just looking for something amusing and walked out thinking deeply about his job in a new way. That’s exactly what I was hoping for!
Thank you to everyone who came along, and to those who encouraged me along the way. I’ll be sure to post the video when it’s available. 🙂

Love it when speakers cross-pollinate. @mranney’s namechecked both @caitie and @cmeik in his excellent #yow16 talk today! https://t.co/5UFR2gGuG1
Just realised the design of the @yow_oz banner is very thematically relevant for my talk this afternoon! #strandsofbinary #yow16 https://t.co/V3z7gWiFCz
Love that @jessitron is colour-coordinated with her slides! Excited to learn about Elm. #yow16 https://t.co/yr7CgxdBed
Learning Elm syntax. Brain bending. #yow16 @jessitron https://t.co/pUfKmeRlcn
Compile errors in a language that confuse people are BUGS in that language. @jessitron got a helpful hint added to Elm’s compiler! #yow16
Congrats to @_albertjh on winning a ticket to @yow_oz 2017 at last night’s #BeeropsMegaMixer! @BeeropsMegaMix https://t.co/DUnrmLn2Ny
Not convinced if you’d enjoy my #yow16 knitting talk? Here’s a small preview from @TEDxMelbourne a few months back! https://t.co/28DdDkDeqc
Not super sure where @unclebobmartin is going with this tale of Earth’s history… but it’s fun watching @smithcdau hold his arms out. #yow16 https://t.co/8dol7bMmUc
Sitting behind @WoodyZuill of #noestimates fame while @unclebobmartin pontificates on estimation adds some excitement to #yow16! https://t.co/zT7MG28ZAT
@WoodyZuill @unclebobmartin LOL. Too engrossed in the talk to notice you taking a selfie!

Secret previews of upcoming games from @thesecretlab! Great way to start a talk. 🙂 #yow16 @desplesda https://t.co/kikLrv28ln
RT @avdschyff: So many great speakers at #yow16, Kudos to the organisers!
Theme of academic research continues as @desplesda mentions “Mechanics, Dymanics, Aesthetics” theory of how games evoke feelings. #yow16 https://t.co/wn4i4UMAHV
@BernHyland There are quite a few in the game design talk!
@BernHyland Sitting in front makes it hard. 🙁
@parisba @thesecretlab @desplesda He did in Brissie. Not sure! Fear of mussing his locks?
@LucindaBurtt ????!!!!!!
