    Surviving three days of learning functional programming deserves a reward.

    It appears Horace the Horrible 🕷 met his end at the hands (or teeth) of Petey the Brave 🐱. There was much rejoicing. (All we found was two legs…)

  • Day 3 of functional programming course, and I’ve worn another thematically appropriate shirt. 🐛🐞 #krislearnsfp

    So far I’m feeling pretty good today! Not sure if it’s because I’m understanding everything so far, or if it’s the other way around. 🤔 #krislearnsfp

    @yow_conf Somebody else sent me that this morning! Love it. ❤️

    RT @yow_conf: If #BigData, #Analytics and #MachineLearning is more your jam, speak at YOW! Data by submitting a talk to our CFP. #yowdata
    h…

    …And I lost it. Seems like I can do about 4 hours of new stuff before I hit a wall. #krislearnsfp

    @jonoabroad Possibly, but I also need to be able to sleep at night.

    Proof I survived day 2 and the introduction of the dreaded Monad. Apparently it’s all downhill from here! #krislearnsfp https://t.co/XKYWJaCmAw

    @FCTweedie @HeartOfPluto_ Sadly I don’t think the machine itself is coming on the plane! There will be knitted pieces at the exhibition on Monday though.

    After two days of learning functional programming, my brain needs fuel. #noveg #sorrynotsorry https://t.co/rTen20ozy4 https://t.co/cULC3IbBGB

    Damn. Self, re-read this before every salary negotiation for the rest of your life. (I’ve never seen Grey’s Anatomy, but I’m now an Ellen Pompeo fan.) https://t.co/myzzd7M88O

    @LapTop006 That was at Holy Duck at Central Park. Two porks and one duck.

    @sauramaia @FCTweedie @HeartOfPluto_ Yeah, the problem is that my main project right now is a big one for the Easter Show, so not super portable *and* I’m at tricky bit.

    @twasink @spidie Sydney Women Who Code had a salary negotiation a few years back. I was controversial for advocating straight up lying to this question. I don’t think being underpaid in your last job should mean you’re underpaid in the next.

    @twasink @spidie They had a salary workshop, that is. 🙂

    Had my first brain melt moment but recovered. #krislearnsfp https://t.co/ti2sTUsb62

    Learning. Here’s the frustrating thing though: when I’m struggling to grok something, I get this completely involuntary teary response. And then I get frustrated by THAT, and if just makes everything worse. I got through it, but it sucks. #krislearnsfp

    Please make me feel better by telling me this happens to you too. Bonus points if you can suggest coping strategies.

    The guy next to me confessed this is his third time doing the course. That helped.

    @Reidyd ❤️

    @LJKenward I have left two jobs at least in part because there was no support for community work.

    @jonoabroad @yow_conf @Data61news @dibblego 3 dayer

    Did you ever have one of those nightmares where people are speaking to you quickly in a language that sounds like English but isn’t? 😢 #krislearnsfp

    Overall today was 60% 😊, 40% 😢. Unfortunately I ended on 😭. Now at home being comforted by Petey. #krislearnsfp https://t.co/ugQ076Km2S

    @boundvariable @200ok Same thing happened to Rodd. Employer got him out of it a couple times, eventually went, got dismissed after a day.

    Kinokuniya have Harry Potter trivia for grown-ups Feb 1. Teams of 5. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. WHO IS WITH ME? I will even accept Hufflepuffs. 😉 @i386

    @boundvariable I am following instructors’ advice to play games and watch Netflix. Just need to reset. It’s a LOT of material in 3 days.

    @nothergeek Thank you. ❤️

    @Mandy_Kerr I am literally going to look at this tomorrow when I get frustrated. ❤️

    @i386 YES?! We got 2 then. Who else do we know who is a giant HP nerd?!

    @i386 @sundress @ahhhninny @lucykbain That’s five!!

    @i386 @sundress @ahhhninny @lucykbain I suspect, dear Hufflepuff, that the quiz will be about the BOOKS given that it’s held in a BOOK STORE. 😜

    @i386 @sundress @ahhhninny @lucykbain Oh sure. Team name suggestions? I like “Holyhead Harpies.”

    RT @Mandy_Kerr: We’re running a @gdcfpday! Even if you think you have nothing to share come along, we’ll help you figure it out! https://t.…

    If you count me as the organiser, Art + Tech is 50:50 men/not-men. 😉 #lca2018 https://t.co/vibpZoziPc

    @goknurginer Sounds like a perfect fit for YOW! Data too. We’re looking for speakers now, incidentally… Fancy a trip back to Sydney in May? 🙂

    When doing battle with a beast like Haskell, it can’t hurt to armour up like an Amazonian. #krislearnsfp https://t.co/xZsxm2W6B2

    Day 2 starts with @dibblego congratulating those of us who survived and returned. 😂 https://t.co/tkRmqk8wrI

    @starbuxman Unfortunately it’s a one-off, since I made it myself from a pattern I hacked. 😊

    @starbuxman Fabric was from a US craft store though – Joann’s I think?

    @starbuxman If you can find the fabric, I’ll make you one. 🙂

    @dbsmasher @alicegoldfuss @mipsytipsy I think the popular conception of “mentor” = one-way Yoda-like relationship is really limiting. I was in a group activity a year ago where we came up with all kinds of types of mentors, with sponsors and peers included. https://t.co/GvYBkeouOJ

    Final touches nearly done for Art + Tech miniconf at @linuxconfau. Did you hear we’re having an exhibition on Monday? 😊 You’ll be able to check out some of the projects the speakers will be talking about the next day! #lca2018 https://t.co/et1eL7xoVj

    @stibbons Was literally just drafting a tweet about it, so I took advantage to quote yours. 😛

    @TheAmpHour Are you guys going to be there? I remember you once mentioned on the podcast my Ignite Sydney talk about knitting and coding. Well, I’m running a whole Art + Tech miniconf this year on that theme! 🙂

    Snuck in to #androidsyd for @GRobilliard’s last meetup as organiser! 😭 https://t.co/KQxZErEn9J

    Learning about @flutterio from @QuirijnGB. TRIVIA: At @yow_conf last month, I learned from Kasper Lund that Flutter was used to build the @HamiltonMusical app! #androidsyd https://t.co/jLikQQdkk8 https://t.co/MsFfzsDZRO

    @ariskataoka Welcome!!

    SEE? Now @QuirijnGB is showing it off!! 😂 #androidsyd https://t.co/HKBsHnX1y7

    Second talk of the night is @sir_tilbrook talking Kotlin: “One of the things I like about is is that it’s… not Java.” 😂 #androidsyd https://t.co/f5RaCvT5TD

    @JennaGuillaume Best. Eps. Ever.

    @JennaGuillaume As an American: that’s not a real theme. Has never been a real theme. Shut up Barbara Johns.

    @JennaGuillaume Andie redeems herself in this episode for me after her shittiness in The Longest Day. She tries to be a good friend.

    @JennaGuillaume I love how I’m always at a tech meetup during #PaceysCreek, furtively commenting on your posts instead of paying attention. (I’m the worst.)

    “Awwwww” and applause and flowers for @GRobilliard as she passes the #androidsyd torch! 😭👏💐 https://t.co/o744KqLqYw

    Fun fact: the flowers for @GRobilliard were almost as big as @mobywhale. 😂😂 https://t.co/I0EgI03oOU

    @benschwarz Lately it’s “How Did This Get Made.”

    @drkyliesmith Meh. I’m fine with it. I should’ve just squished it with a shoe. SOMEBODY was dancing around like it was crawling on his legs, and it wasn’t me!

    @northernsunbird @josephgentle Hilariously, I was the one that was fine with it. It was somebody *else* that had the issue. 😂

    Big crowd at @Data61news for @dibblego’s functional programming course! Current mood: intimidated but optimistic. #krislearnsfp https://t.co/wZG40aDTEg

    Never been so happy to see this guy. 😂 @jedws #krislearnsfp https://t.co/Hu9pxy0ytg
