    RT @hackuador: #ylj17 the best @YOWLambdaJam yet? I reckon so! Huge props to @yow_conf, presenters and all participants.

    @bodil The real zoo? I thought you’re meant to be at the airport! 😂


    @bodil Wow, I’m impressed with their range of animals then! Glad it worked out and the drop bears kept their distance.


    Huge crowd at @BlueChilliGroup for #SheStarts demo day! https://t.co/TK27NO7b4c

    @bodil You went more native in 2 weeks than I have in 15 years.


    Director? 😉 https://t.co/rsSKzD85W2


    @stibbons As long as I can be the Chief Director!


    New clogs! I blame @kimfrancenyc’s frequent clog-loving blog posts. #clompclomp #imagiant https://t.co/xbaBTgese1 https://t.co/rZpBe003TR


    @developerjack @keranm HA! Sorry, I’m in recovery mode from conf week. Bailed pretty quickly…


    @gilmae THAT’s what it sounds like!


    RT @GordyPls: 1994 is as far away from now, as 2040 is.

    Last chance for tonight’s #yownight with @mseckington and @bodil at @OptiverAsiaPac in Sydney! https://t.co/ggPPItN94G


    Some serious electronics nostalgia happening in @mootpointer’s #ylj17 hardware talk. https://t.co/yW2zQX6Glb


    I’ve got so many Arduino components at home, waiting for an idea. So excited that @mootpointer is here to INSPIRE. #ylj17 https://t.co/B6NBNtxPoA

    Amazing mini pavs at #ylj17. (Cameo by @mark_sabbatical’s hand!) https://t.co/Qlj9jHRIdY https://t.co/gZAKgZu5vO


    @REATechBlog @YOWLambdaJam You left out Sharon!


    RT @REATechBlog: @web_goddess @YOWLambdaJam She was too busy slaying the room in her talk. 😉


    @REATechBlog @j_s_n_d @YOWLambdaJam @KenScambler I was there! She kicked ass. 😀


    Of course, there’s already prior art. Hm. I reckon I could still come up with something more interesting. https://t.co/morwcVjkSw https://t.co/VGA6AKX9i4

    If you told 18yo me I’d be listening to calculus lecture as a grownup in 2017, I would’ve studied a lot harder. #itsallgone #sorrymrarnold


    Lambda-calculus is not complete for computation. “I can see some of you getting anxious!…” Barry says. #ylj17 https://t.co/hZjVpoy9mb


    @charis Hm. Back when I was a front-ender (early 2000s), only women on my team were designers and PMs. Once there was a DBA. @ppk


    Miss Geeky herself, @mseckington, speaking for a full house at #yownight! @yow_conf @OptiverAsiaPac https://t.co/I7NY45pxNl


    Forget ninjas, unicorns, and rockstars. We should strive to be SUPERHERO developers and amplify the others around us. #yownight @mseckington https://t.co/So9jWHbJuL

    “G’day! Did I do it right? Learning new languages is hard.” 😂 @bodil #yownight @yow_conf https://t.co/D884emtm81


    So, yeah. As AV tech support, @sir_tilbrook and I are far cry from @smithcdau. 😂 (Sorry.) #yownight https://t.co/wkJMunF5iz


    @smithcdau @sir_tilbrook We forgot to push the big red button, and then we forgot to wire up Bodil. 🙄🔫


    @smithcdau @sir_tilbrook It’s a different talk! One that’s never been videoed. We got there in the end – just figuratively knocked our heads together a few times.


    Ahhh, The Cathedral and the Bazaar. Perennially on my To Read list. #yownight #oldschool https://t.co/gpZ9OdC4No


    Imagining a “Halt and Catch Fire”-style sexy dramatisation of the story of the Open Source movement. Netflix – get on that! #yownight


    Open Source gives us the power to learn and create, so how we protect that knowledge is very important for the good of humanity. #yownight https://t.co/86K0tFQyTm


    I can’t help but wonder if the issues @bodil is having with her new Windows tablet are a planned example of her theme. 😂 #yownight


    @gilmae Awwww, your bebbeh.


    Our heroes are imperfect. We shouldn’t let the clay feet of major players in the OS community stop us from contributing. #yownight https://t.co/1MKcUCerow

    RT @leonardo_borges: Big shout out to all the @YOWLambdaJam crew for delivering a hell of a conference! Had a great time! Can’t wait for 20…


    @carbocommander That is ridiculous and evil. 🙁


    @knitterjp @unlikelylibrary @bemaia @madelgiles @kakaCharlotte Awww, sounds like it was a great night!!


    Thank you so much to @georgiecel for taking photos at @yow_conf #ylj17! Can’t wait to see how they turned out. 😃📸

    @girlgerms @puffnfresh We bonded in that moment.


    @bodil @puffnfresh I’m glad I’m not the only one whose slide photos come out rainbow coloured! 🌈


    @unixbigot I actually recommended we take you everywhere with us as Tweeter-in-Residence. 😂
