    There are cases where containers are not always the best fit… – @IanDCrosby #yow16 https://t.co/kmzRtoe0lC


    OH at #yow16: “What’s your Twitter handle?” (That was @apaipi to her HUSBAND @erikcorry. 😂)


    “I mean, who DOESN’T want to invent their own computer language? Fame! Fortune!” @erikcorry #yow16 https://t.co/BWWGlTPkVe


    RT @richard_lopes: I need to invest, buy share in that company making stickies. Those #Agile freaks are all crazy about them 😁 – #yow16


    Heh. @erikcorry’s compiler – which he is building live in front of us! – got applause for being faster at regexp than grep. 👏 #yow16 https://t.co/ujVyK819IY


    The fabulous @GRobilliard introducing @randommood for her talk on the architectural patterns of distributed systems. #yow16 https://t.co/gOoVP7y51r


    RT @stuartsierra: Don’t know any Clojure/Datomic? No problem! Come to my #yow16 talk this afternoon for conceptual overview


    Different strategies to build resilience based on Borrill’s model. – @randommood #yow16 https://t.co/EZazQu4v33


    Trust me, #yow16 attendees, you want to stick around for Dr. Little’s keynote tonight. It’s EXCELLENT.


    So now we know some design patterns for building resilient systems, @caitie is going to show us how to verify their correctness. #yow16 https://t.co/cfzXSsoQZB


    😍 Thanks @tcampezzi! #yow16 https://t.co/cYFmKaL7LW


    Love emphasis on academic papers & research from speakers like @caitie and @randommood. As @unclebobmartin said: don’t stop learning! #yow16 https://t.co/DFKjaw1TFV


    @boyter Where are you, anyway? You should be here!!


    @boyter Gahhhhh. Next time!

    PHP! This is now my favourite talk of #yow16. Thank you @joshduck 😜 https://t.co/OAKZ4BdBY1


    Facebook had annoying bug where Chat state would get out of sync, show notifications when nothing was new. LIKE LINKEDIN ALLTHETIME. #yow16 https://t.co/EtMfOorrt9


    @evanderkoogh You mean NOT moving to US, right?


    Final talk – @jedws introducing @mjpt777′s talk “Engineering You” #yow16 https://t.co/zGVxIZEAFg


    RT @DrBrianRLittle: The #yow16 event in Sydney is in full buzz mode. Waiting to give

    Yay, Margaret Hamilton getting another shout-out at #yow16 from @mjpt777! https://t.co/VioibtXCaK


    Don’t work with assholes. It really does bring you down. – @mjpt777 #truth #yow16 https://t.co/clSyJugAGk


    Watching as @daveathomas introduces @DrBrianRLittle for the third and final time at #yow16! You’re all going to love this. 😁 https://t.co/H07m1JWm2H


    @BeeropsMegaMix @stphnwallace In a cab with a contingent of YOW folks. There soon.


    Proud to represent @yow_oz at the #BeeropsMegaMixer! #yow16 https://t.co/egn3Qhfg4M


    Making sure my #yow16 lanyard is appropriately decorated for Day 2. Don’t forget my talk on KNITTING AS COMPUTER CODE at 4:25 in Green! https://t.co/kugVRyqG2J


    Details of the blinky beanie I wore onstage this morning at #yow16: https://t.co/401CibbKZd https://t.co/b66VJfjotT


    RT @yow_oz: #yow16 don’t forget that @apaipi’s talk will be at 2:10pm and @mtnygard will be at 3:30pm


    The ever-cheerful Renee from @GPN_Sydney introducing @mranney in the Red room! (GPN is awesome. You should check it out.) #yow16 https://t.co/oAiUYmXjaY


    Listening to some of the problems Uber faces with 2K+ microservices. “We DDoS ourselves all the time!” – @mranney 😂 #yow16 https://t.co/37R7wmDTZP


    RT @thepaulrayner: Confirmed! Thanks @yow_oz! EventStorming above Red Room on mezzanine floor starts ~12:30pm. Grab a quick bite & come joi…


    Event-based architecture doesn’t work great for Uber because SLA’s are human-scale. Person hits button & wants response NOW. #yow16 @mranney

    @u1traq Yep, I was tweeting during his keynote.


    RT @WoodyZuill: I’m packed and ready to head to #yow16 Sydney. Thanks to the organizers, volunteers, speakers, and attendees for a great B…


    @delitescere @conors10 I’ve met him, and I’m not sure either.


    @stphnwallace Looks fun – but geez, I see like 2 women there! We need to work on that. 🙂


    Only a handful of tickets left – don’t miss out on this fun event! #BeeropsMegaMixer Sponsored by @yow_oz https://t.co/J2dkdr3LUQ


    RT @malgroves: Getting excited for @yow_oz Sydney tomorrow. Best Aus Tech conference of the year, every year.


    @darthted The mark of a good conference!


    Yep, @hadinahari is a deadset legend. #yow16 https://t.co/NGsljheMIo https://t.co/5P8z9lpbOl


    Final leg of #yow16 tour… and the one where I get to sleep in my own bed! (@ Gate 43 – @brisbaneairport) https://t.co/cqxg5MMweF


    RT @jenna_payette: Anyone else need to thoroughly soak their brain after the end of yesterdays #yow16?! So many fun, new things to tinker w…


    Still hoping to make it to #ctosummit for @darthted and @mark_sabbatical‘s talks! #comeontaxi #yow16


    Made it in time to catch the second half of @philchan612′s #ctosummit talk on some of his experiences at IBM! #yow16 https://t.co/2u5tRIw5ow


    Very nice of @mark_sabbatical to start his #ctosummit talk with a Welcome to Country. And yay, women from computing history! https://t.co/Zr0k1aa6bk


    “Privacy questions are the tobacco questions of the 21st century.” We’ll realise things are BAD soon! @asymco @mark_sabbatical #ctosummit


    There appear to be no free candy bars at this event. *glares at @delitescere* +1 to @simonraikallen #ctosummit


    Last #ctosummit speaker is @darthted, dispelling some of the myths of distributed teams. https://t.co/U7lmMJFyta


    Hidden costs of remote teams: travel, facilities, recruitment, training, comms equipment (critical!), legals, salaries. @darthted #ctosummit https://t.co/v6GaaR4PrN


    Haha, @darthted confessing he got his Manifesto idea from @simonraikallen at last year’s #ctosummit! “Well worth every penny…”


    In the end, conventional wisdom is not that wise. Key takeaway from @darthted’s excellent and useful #ctosummit talk! https://t.co/GnVvjLGTWs


    And here’s PC member @delitescere capping off the 2016 Sydney #ctosummit and giving #yow16 a lovely testimonial! https://t.co/wZeZJ92cWz


    @nunami Go back in time and buy your ticket prior to last week. 🙁 Sorry – I think they’re all gone.


    @caitie @randommood I’m in the lobby!


    Special @yow_oz @WWCSyd crossover event kicking off at Atlassian. Great job @lucykbain and @jedws for pulling it together! https://t.co/85AaXnyhtM


    First speaker is @randommood talking about the Fallacy of Fast. #wwcsyd #yow16 https://t.co/mlSMv3NXnG


    First mistake companies make trying to move fast is deprioritising tests. – @randommood #wwcsyd #yow16 https://t.co/6KUYUZbuXZ


    Some form of monitoring dashboard should be part of your MVP. Don’t deprioritise insights. @randommood #wwcsyd #yow16 https://t.co/sowkMnRhXs


    Deprecate your go-to person. Hero culture of tech actually results in knowledge silos. It’s not good for your organisation. #wwcsyd #yow16 https://t.co/ZrdYSvwxZ1


    Next @rebeccaparsons is telling us why we should care about evolutionary architecture. tl;dr Things are moving faster! #wwcsyd #yow16 https://t.co/rWajDRKObY


    You define what’s good for your organisation, and then you design your architecture to fit and support that. @rebeccaparsons #wwcsyd #yow16 https://t.co/mnKKfbpVkd


    “I’m from Thoughtworks, so I have to mention testing. It’s the law.” 😂 @rebeccaparsons #wwcsyd #yow16 https://t.co/vdvkW4qqyu


    Last speaker is @caitie talking about distributed systems and eventual consistency. #wwcsyd #yow16 https://t.co/RD9NVPilat


    “[I]t is desirable…to permit users to continue modifying resources…when the networked is partitioned.” Quoth @caitie: “DUH” 😂 #wwcsyd #yow16 https://t.co/Xa1PQJyALA


    Hey look – @cmeik gets a shoutout in @caitie’s slides! #wwcsyd #yow16 https://t.co/7LxS0lVf2m


    @eisabai @yow_oz I’m just sorry I missed it! I heard you did really well. 🙂


    @leonardo_borges @yow_oz 👋


    @TheRealBnut The temptation was too great. https://t.co/lYWOqLLXZL


    @rosepowell @TheRealBnut Oh bloody hell. He did. Including SWEATERS. 😂


    @rosepowell @TheRealBnut I’d like to point out that I didn’t randomly pick HTML. It was suggested!


    Friends at #yow16: I’ve seen a fair few of the talks now, so DM me if you want advice on which ones are DON’T MISS!

    Some fun Easter eggs in @IanDCrosby’s demo microservice reference application. 😂 #yow16 https://t.co/yWq7Gw9ydm


    RT @seansonbronson: “Cloud: the worst term that’s been forced upon us” @IanDCrosby #yow16


    Comparing containers to virtual machines. Containers are smaller, faster to initialise, more flexible. – @IanDCrosby #yow16 https://t.co/ejKdzfSgTB

    They let me DING it this morning. Truly an item off the bucket list! 😆 #yow16 https://t.co/bIHsRodLPK


    Fantastic intro for @stuartsierra from track host. He turned a staunch Haskeller into a closet Clojure fan! #yow16 https://t.co/15z5fvAqxB


    Learning about universal data structures in Clojure. #yow16 @stuartsierra https://t.co/TaCXH8YIfF


    I want to be tweeting during @stuartsierra’s talk, but I’m actually learning HEAPS! He’s a very good teacher and explainer of things #yow16 https://t.co/HjyLCiS7ow

    @desplesda Whoops. I had times wrong tomorrow. Check your email. 🙂


    @desplesda Actually email may not have gone to speakers yet. But departure at 10:30.


    @themaninblue Pretty much. Speakers have had two iterations to improve too!


    Pinterest was growing fast, but wanted to know WHY. So they hired people like @arburbank to figure it out! #yow16 https://t.co/d4HnItPHWX


    Build clean data sets. Don’t rely on future people in your company knowing all the complicated contextual filtering rules. @arburbank #yow16


    Building A/B testing framework is key to moving data science insights from correlation to causation end of the spectrum. @arburbank #yow16


    FYI – other sessions at 2:10 are being recorded, so you can watch later. Imagine being able to say you were AT the #yow16 knitting talk! 😜


    @thepaulrayner @DamonOehlman @canva Nailed it.


    Paypal in 2011 was a different place. Changing a word on the site could take 6 weeks! Hearing stories from trenches from @billwscott #yow16 https://t.co/MxI9Zz0rwx


    Naming your open source framework “kraken” is serious genius. #yow16 @billwscott https://t.co/IC0zRaA2a9
