    Whoever was responsible for putting out peanut butter with the banana bread this morning? This Seppo thanks you. ❤️ #summit17 #wds17 https://t.co/qqjuqsViwT

    You’re killing me @VirginAustralia! 😫 #socloseyetsofar https://t.co/FQuQaZ8YQC


    Just caused a minor commotion at #summit17 by admitting I’m sitting in the corner learning Haskell. 😜 #wds17 https://t.co/jP3lUH1Zqa


    Ever seen an algorithmically-generated scarf? Come to the @SydTechLeaders stand at lunch and have a peek! #summit17 #wds17 https://t.co/pDs2ejJPw6


    @yow_conf Always crunchy for me!!


    @GlennSarti Ironically, referring to myself as a Seppo makes me feel more assimilated as an Australian. 😀


    So, wait. My problems with the Internet are actually just… me? Does that mean I can’t blame the Youths anymore? 😕 #summit17 #wds17 https://t.co/IPhTIp3mao


    Yay, @tameverts namechecked Jakob Nielsen. During my dot-com days, a daily visit to https://t.co/nThykcHOUX was mandatory. #summit17 #wds17

    @philnash We should reclaim it. It sounds so impressively medieval!


    Recently learned a word that frames a “lack of focus” in a more positive way: multipotentialite. (Thanks @drkateadams!) #summit17 #wds17


    @mattallen @VirginAustralia I’m 36 short, but I’m at the point now where they’re expiring at the same rate I’m earning them. 😭

    @chrisdoble @mcallana @dibblego @daveathomas Yeah, @Errorific told me he preferred that one too. But this one supposedly has Fonzie in it? And I’m all about that. 👍


    Fun visit with some of the tech team at @Tatts_Group this morning. I *so* wanted to push the big red button… https://t.co/sZ5go6zMiP


    I was happy to see free wifi on @QueenslandRail train to Brisbane airport… and then hit the data limit within 5 min. 😐 https://t.co/SJo5i51jf1


    @QueenslandRail Wasn’t watching video or anything like that. Literally opened Twitter and clicked like 5 links. This is ridiculous.

    RT @SydTechLeaders: Come by our table at #webdirections and get a #sydtechleaders sticker. https://t.co/tVzvMvUSDH


    Bye Brisbane! See you again in a few weeks for YOW! 👋 https://t.co/GJESMq5lPh https://t.co/gc1X6niEfM


    @the_nathanjones @QueenslandRail Honestly, 20MB should be plenty. I suspect clicking on a link to a news site was the culprit. It was just shocking how quickly I hit limit.


    RT @JedWatson: Super proud of our @reactsydney sticker collection at #wds17 #yes https://t.co/8odLMceyyW


    @afcowie Thank you! 😊


    Massive crowd at Sydney’s #yownight at @SafetyCultureHQ to hear @LeeRyanCampbell talk about architecting your app for success & longetivity. https://t.co/cix9adLgf4


    @zarahjutz WANNNNTTTTTTTT


    A single repo rapidly turns into the office kitchen: everybody uses it, but nobody looks after it. @LeeRyanCampbell #yownight


    Standard “my first MVC project” quickly takes you from “my little corner to play in” to “warehouse superstore.” Focus is diluted. #yownight https://t.co/3goFVactQ9


    Useful metric for senior developers: how long would it take a grad to understand your code? #yownight @LeeRyanCampbell https://t.co/AxTvdDklFi


    Instead of reuse being a goal, aim for encapsulation. (Left pad rears its ugly head again…) 😂 @LeeRyanCampbell #yownight


    Uber driver accepted job, called me to ask where I was and where I was going, and then cancelled. WTF. Rage level: 11. 😡


    I knew I should’ve just ridden my bike.


    @MelissaKaulfuss I was so mad I actually tried ringing him back, but the number doesn’t accept incoming calls.


    @friendlyunit Unfortunately once they cancelled, I couldn’t see the driver details anymore to report them.


    Knitting in the back row, as promised. @lachlanhardy @Xavier_Ho #summit17 https://t.co/BLP8BbvKfE


    Ooh, @feraldata just reminded me that I need to see the new Blade Runner this weekend. #summit17 https://t.co/Wye5XVg3lY


    @halans @feraldata Knitting with wire, in fact. Because… tech. 🤓 #summit17 #wds17


    We convened a coven during the morning tea break. *cackle* @cathyblabla @LizlingC #wds17 #summit17 https://t.co/cgPajFGn2g

    @gilmae @drwitty_knitter @fbz @randomknits But I’m going to control mine via a computer! 🤖❤️


    @200ok @boundvariable I opened the blind in the hopes/fear that I’d be staring into someone *else’s* shower. Sadly, not.


    RT @yow_conf: We are SOLD OUT in #yow17 Melbourne!!!

    Thank you, everyone! We cannot wait to see you all in only 3 more weeks. https://t.c…


    @drwitty_knitter @fbz @gilmae @randomknits No, I definitely talk about machine knitting at the end!


    @fbz @gilmae @drwitty_knitter @randomknits That’s just @gilmae being a troll. He knows that every time I mention the talk, some dickhead dude always asks me about Jacquard Looms. 🙂


    @drwitty_knitter @fbz @gilmae @randomknits That’s the part where I talk about @knityak (which is @fbz’s project) and things like the Machine Knit Identify Preserving Bitmap Balaclava.


    @fbz @gilmae @drwitty_knitter @randomknits It’s more that every guy assumes I don’t already know about them. If you do knitting and computers, you know, right?


    RT @yow_conf: Thank you to @ROKT for coming onboard as a #yow17 Sydney SILVER sponsor! https://t.co/9i4Sdo5MuD


    Brisbane – last call for tickets to tonight’s @yow_conf night with @LeeRyanCampbell! https://t.co/IFo4TCBsFH It’s gonna be good…


    Today’s remote working view. Not bad, Brisbane. https://t.co/1hLTI3nyzw


    Just lined up first meetup talk for 2018. Downtime? What downtime. 😆 Thanks @nicolarushton for the invitation! https://t.co/Mf186lkiX3

    A year ago I was in Melbourne and excited. Then I came out of a meeting, checked my phone, and everything changed. https://t.co/77Wtg2eoRT


    I have a vague memory of meeting @hima_tk for “coffee” that turned into drowning my sorrows with cake and booze.


    Damn. Seller has decided to quadruple price on me. The knitting machine dream has died before it even began. 😫 @fbz @gilmae @drwitty_knitter


    @fbz @gilmae @drwitty_knitter I don’t think it’s necessarily overpriced – the original price was a steal. It’s just more than I wanted to drop on a whim for a new hobby!

    @charis @webconf_asia I love how the text looks like the @webconf_asia branding!


    @maetl You’ve sent me down a rabbit hole with that hashtag. What’s #procjam ??


    Just about to kick off tonight’s #yownight at @Suncorp! The gang’s all here: @evanderkoogh @LeeRyanCampbell @smithcdau https://t.co/PQjavuvSzL


    One consideration for longetivity: will you be able to find devs for your stack? [Redacted] in Perth is looking for COBOL devs! 😱 #yownight https://t.co/MS7vU7U36q

Really, folks, it’s mostly selfies and food. 😂


    It’s a novelty seeing someone from Perth give a talk that isn’t riddled with puns. *glares at @FakeSamRitchie and @the_patima*


    Today I learned that Australia’s largest pizza lives in Brisbane, and we order it for @yow_conf events. You jelly? 😂🍕 #yownight https://t.co/SQmc0N6DJR


    @gilmae @yow_conf 🤷‍♀️ That’s what it says on the box!


    @gilmae @yow_conf I’ll get a photo with the box for scale later.


    We’re not here just to moan, @LeeRyanCampbell says. Time for alternatives. Break out of single repo hell. #yownight https://t.co/ZU3ssmaHf3


    Build your multi repo strategy around cohesive pieces of work. If it changes together, it lives together. #yownight https://t.co/DOr42q5Xhq

    Code is happening! @LeeRyanCampbell is walking us through a simple domain model. Nothing injected; everyone can understand. #yownight https://t.co/kXT0fd6i13


    Lots of great questions from the audience! #yownight @LeeRyanCampbell https://t.co/VdcuoSbTPN


    @samnewman @LeeRyanCampbell We filmed it! And you got namechecked in the Q&A, I believe. 😉


    My head for scale. 🍕😂 #giantpizza #yownight https://t.co/vCuR89gGRN


    This is the face of a parent who dragged his daughter to a tech talk ON HER 10TH BIRTHDAY. #yownight (He’s not sorry.) @unixbigot https://t.co/jzeZxnXpQ5


    For all who were at tonight’s @yow_conf #yownight! https://t.co/G6evE8U59B


    So this is happening. I blame @mcallana, @dibblego, and @daveathomas. (Haskell, here I come.) https://t.co/6nJMfeoNZT


    @unixbigot So was it your kitten? Or just, like, a chaser for the printing disappointment?


    @unixbigot Awww, she looks a bit like our Petey Cat, except he has a pink nose.


    Wow, gorgeous! Thanks for the tip, @taminap. https://t.co/roomcTXOtX
