    The final tenet of the Scribe’s Oath: I will never stop learning and improving my craft. Why we’re all here today! #yow16 @unclebobmartin https://t.co/4E5CNQDNuF


    Listening to @cmeik and @caitie’s entertaining tag team talk on history and challenges of distributed computing. #yow16 https://t.co/VlZ384JIJX


    “So Halo 4 looked really pretty but my life was AWFUL…” @caitie talking about the realities of performance trade-offs. #yow16 https://t.co/yO3bltpAxp


    “All of your assumptions start breaking when things increase by orders of magnitude” @caitie on her Finagle & RPC experience @twitter #Yow16


    “There be dragons…” @apaipi on why focus on 100% resource (people) allocation can lead to destroyed teams & lack of time to learn. #yow16 https://t.co/zFcNxp71ky


    Business likes MVP because they can make 💰, but value is really in “walking skeleton” to get feedback. @apaipi #yow16


    A lot of giggles and groans as @apaipi walks us through Manifesto for Half-Arsed Software Development. Relevant to many folks’ exp. #yow16 https://t.co/H3r99ok3NN


    RT @RMcKergow: Agile transformations are hard & a long journey. Know where the company is at & want to be within the Agile fluency model. @…


    Yes, @apaipi went full hobbit for her #yow16 talk. That’s commitment to a theme! https://t.co/kdhhKXsi8r


    Less than 80 tickets left for #BeeropsMegaMixer on Thursday in Sydney https://t.co/UOGin5Trph Sponsored by @yow_oz – hope to see you there!


    @Cuff_S We get the numbers via the votes at the end. It’s faster! 😀


    @apaipi @jchyip And I just thought it was a metaphor – didn’t realise Walking Skeleton was a Thing!


    That first sticky is the hardest. Best to have unlimited modelling space to encourage freedom & digging in. #yow16 https://t.co/dF4YmJiEE2


    So many people taking notes in @thepaulrayner’s excellent EventStorming talk! #yow16 https://t.co/GUa8CmdFWl


    RT @DamianM: Observation about #yow16 so far.. all the micro service focus is now about async and resilience. Suspect lots of people burnt…


    “From a Domain-Driven Design perspective, that makes me a sad panda.” 🐼 @thepaulrayner on devs not using domain-specific terms #yow16


    @Cuff_S @unixbigot We send out a survey link but we don’t get much back. Best feedback is given directly to speaker in a chat!


    Structured, intensive activities like EventStorming and Mob Programming optimise for learning. @thepaulrayner #yow16 @WoodyZuill https://t.co/y1mDlXkyZC


    Wow. The AU and US governments make a lot of open data sets available. @BernHyland #yow16 https://t.co/hTif9RgTMX


    Just publishing data in a CSV isn’t enough. There’s a lot of missing context. @BernHyland #yow16 https://t.co/H5p6WYj09g


    Bailiwick – not a word you hear in a lot of tech talks! #impressed @BernHyland #yow16


    RT @RMcKergow: Great how to session on Event Storming for understand how systems interact and highlight gaps in knowledge. Thanks @thepaulr…


    Knitted viruses! Punch cards! Hacked knitting machines! CANDY! 🍫 Don’t forget my #yow16 talk Tuesday at 2:10 in Green room. Guaranteed fun. https://t.co/RaagPfhhFB


    RT @BernHyland: Congrats @LareneLg @Cuff_S! See you in 2017! Thanks @yow_oz for putting #womenintech & community central to all that you…


    “Hi! I run a company. We’re pretty feral.” 😂 @lady_nerd #yow16 https://t.co/hJnG4E9ltu


    RT @desplesda: All set. #yow16 https://t.co/Cw03bxor9P


    “Back in the day I was a penetration tester, which meant I did bad things to good people for money.” – @lady_nerd #yow16 LOLOL


    “Threat landscape. Horrible word. Sounds very hipster. But the toasters are coming…” @lady_nerd #yow16 https://t.co/cotPZXEY2J


    RT @GavinOsborn: #yow16 was also notable for it’s great women-in-tech line-up this year @caitie @randommood @jessitron @rebeccaparsons @ewe…


    “How do you know the difference on StackOverflow between a good person and someone trying to compromise a network? Just a thought…” #yow16


    Don’t be Batman. Be a meerkat! #meepmeepmeep @lady_nerd #yow16 https://t.co/DeiQ3XlbkK


    RT @mjpt777: Awesome intro to security by @lady_nerd. Should seen by all. #yow16


    Once again, @DrBrianRLittle has the crowd rolling at #yow16 with his excellent talk on personality types. https://t.co/Nqu3Bqd12Q

    RT @unixbigot: Inspiring closing keynote from @DrBrianRLittle. You had to be there. #yow16


    @KatanSAPDevelop @ghohpe @lady_nerd More awesome ladies tomorrow too! 😉 #yow16


    RT @BernHyland: Great to make new friends at #yow16, thanks @yow_oz!
    More than ever the global tech community needs to collaborate! https:/…


    See, Brisbane? I told ya! 2:10pm today in the Green room. 😁 #yow16 https://t.co/hOuyfMoZ7Y


    @MichelePlayfair YAYYYYY


    @lexy_jane YESS! Please knit through my talk – I’d ❤️ that!!


    @KathyReid Seriously? That’s so cool!!


    @KathyReid @DigitalGeelong @creativegeelong Let me know if it happens. I’ll put my hand up now to spruik, speak, judge – whatever you need!


    “Architecture is whatever your org thinks is hard. Whatever they find difficult to change.” Some definitions from @rebeccaparsons #yow16 https://t.co/JHXyDJ0amK


    @rosepowell WOW, congratulations! Recommendation: Code – The Hidden Language of Computers by Charles Petzold. Taught me lots!


    RT @PeterSellars: Evolutionary Architecture is contextual to your system, find out what is most important to your system @rebeccaparsons @t…


    Architectural fitness functions must be specific and testable. “The system must be maintainable” doesn’t work. @rebeccaparsons #yow16 https://t.co/OBvemZ5EWg


    I love the fact that #yow16 speakers see many talks on tour, and then they start referencing each other and tying themes together!

    @mcflydesign Nice. @chrisdoble, doin’ God’s work.


    @evanderkoogh It’s a grind, let me tell you.


    @bazscott @haruki_zaemon I can ask the team for their perspective!


    @DamonOehlman Large group walking to Brisbane Brewing Co


    @DamonOehlman See which you can get a table for 8 for 🙂


    @DamonOehlman Mark said beers at BBC were better


    RT @desplesda: Pre-Brisbane speaker snacks! #yow16 https://t.co/GYNxeQJQXU


    @Cuff_S Yay! Excited to meet you. 😁

    “It makes me feel LIKE A GIANT.” – @IanDCrosby at @BrisBrewingCo #yow16 https://t.co/mkfVC34Is2


    @jessitron And I told three old ladies in Melbourne how nice they looked. ONE WOMAN FRIENDLINESS TSUNAMI.


    @chrisdoble DAYUMMMMM


    @haruki_zaemon @bazscott Hm. I don’t think it’d be a good proxy. Topics don’t get retired because we’ve solved them.


    @haruki_zaemon @bazscott Rather they follow the main trends in the industry… with some evergreen stuff in there too.


    @haruki_zaemon @bazscott That’s my perception as someone new to the organising part of it, anyway. It’s not explicit.


    @jstangroome @yow_oz @confui Thanks Jason. It’s being retired and replaced in the coming weeks!


    That moment when @apaipi got everyone at #yow16 Brisbane to sing Happy Birthday to @unclebobmartin! https://t.co/Kxm4cYenGJ


    There are about 100M lines of code in the modern car (not a Tesla)… and that should scare you. You know what that code looks like! #yow16 😂


    Nice to see @unclebobmartin giving Ada Lovelace a shout out in his #yow16 keynote!


    And now Admiral Grace Hopper! @unclebobmartin making sure the women are represented today. ☺️ #yow16 https://t.co/q3sOrn6pv4


    RT @unixbigot: The first generation of programmers had other real business experience before coding. What can we learn from that? #yow16

    Very full house for @ghohpe’s talk on resilience! #yow16 https://t.co/Czr60XAtsv


    Robust = T-800 and Colossus. Resilient = T-1000 and Deadpool. Clever analogy! @ghohpe #yow16 https://t.co/rkHtNd23Yr

    Now onto TypeScript… “which definitely fits on a screen better.” #yow16 @DamonOehlman https://t.co/3CalZHS9Rp


    @MelissaKaulfuss Whoa… That sucks about the jerks, but cool to see your tweet getting shared so widely!!


    Attendee: “When you changed your mind about Closure Compiler, was it real or Stockholm Syndrome?” @DamonOehlman: “Good question!” 😂 #yow16

    @sufw Thank you for your tweets! I enjoyed following along in all your sessions. 🙂


    @billwscott @DivaDanese Apparently we have a lot in common! 😊


    @billwscott @unclebobmartin No, he was laughing the whole time! Very gratifying for a speaker trying to keep it fun. 🙂


    @DivaDanese I reckon we should make that happen. I suspect between the two of us, we could do it! 🙂


    .@Phoebe_Timmins You were robbed! The best and worst luck, really. If they ever do an All-Stars, my money’s on you. 😉
