@dez_blanchfield @starbuxman Conveniently, I can use Minties for that because they’re basically HARDENED TOOTHPASTE DISGUISED AS CANDY.
@msharp I was not aware of that.

@DDsD Ignoring the headline, I agree with almost everything he says in the article.
@DDsD Skim it. There were like three or four things I wanted to screenshot and share with like YASSSSSS

Hi @JohnSietsma! Thanks for the introduction. 😁 @jay_santos @jayUnity3D https://t.co/l9NjSr7Bj2
My talk from last night is now online! Continually in awe of @engineersftw and the work they do, and so jealous that we don’t have anything quite like it in AU! (Except for @sir_tilbrook, of course, but one guy doesn’t scale so well.) https://t.co/gZ7KYgmExE
LOL, this is the part I wasn’t supposed to officially be in but couldn’t resist chiming in! (Sorry @luweidewei – you were a wonderful facilitator!) https://t.co/WIAse46jwz
Caught up with an old friend! 😍🐝 https://t.co/Qqnj9IJ2HQ https://t.co/J9xzEHRFTl

@JennaGuillaume Passion noises, clearly! Pacey knows what he’s doing by this point. 🙂

@zoeydoesnttweet Yay! Now even more sorry I’m not there. 🙂

Yay! @coderkungfu giving a shout out to @juniordev_io as we kick off @JuniorDevSG. (I think I’m the only person who’s been to all three branches!) #juniordevsg https://t.co/0aow1JLoEM

The Meetup pizza is… confusing, eh? 🇨🇦🍕 @JuniorDevSG https://t.co/RfxvaLJlaX
Hi @Mandy_Kerr! Your Singaporean Fan Club of me and @hj_chen just met up. 😁 https://t.co/1ktgbSw8er
First talk is Shirlaine and Gloria giving their first tech talk on CSS Grid for Noobs! (They blame @hj_chen and many glasses of wine for committing to this!) 😂🍷 @JuniorDevSG https://t.co/Hfj99f6YoF
LOL. @hj_chen squirming as Shirlaine credits her with creating the term #Anyhowly. 😂 @JuniorDevSG https://t.co/HOJTKj3eEI
Fantastic intro to CSS grid from Shirlaine, who even conquered her fear of media queries! 👏 @JuniorDevSG https://t.co/coVU57uJpD
Now it’s Gloria’s turn to show us CSS grid template areas. (NESTING! THE DREAM OF TABLES-FOR-LAYOUT IS ALIVE AND WELL! 🙌 😭) @JuniorDevSG https://t.co/IoDuKsFJfR
An amazing and necessary talk from Mai. Too many people in tech – juniors and seniors alike – suffer with mental health issues and don’t talk about it. ❤️ @JuniorDevSG https://t.co/uJeyXO1zoK
In a moment of mental health crisis, someone told Mai to call the mental health helpline. It saved his life.
The room is hanging on every word. This is so important. ❤️ @JuniorDevSG https://t.co/NcFc9MhbPl
Junior devs – please take care of yourself. Get enough sleep. “You think I’m kidding. You think you need caffeine more than sleep. No! Get sleep.” @JuniorDevSG https://t.co/q6ZyVneVZQ
Questions to ask to determine if a friend is suicidal. If your friend is depressed but suddenly seems peaceful and happy – without any effort/change – it’s a HUGE red flag. Encourage them to get help. @JuniorDevSG https://t.co/83x0KIRzYE
@sunky @JuniorDevSG It really is. ❤️ Do you know the Perth Fenders community? They ran a mental health focused event last year; I think they will again.
Takeaways:
– You’re never alone.
– It’s OK to not be OK.I want to hug the speaker and every single person in this room. @JuniorDevSG https://t.co/GculBGe14O
@vbhvsgr Very quick visit. Going home tomorrow!
Live coding happening! @zephinzer from @GovTechSG is teaching everyone about git versioning. “Versioning is about human communication,” so you have a shorthand to all refer to the same code. @JuniorDevSG https://t.co/Sy367JYQ2Q
@vbhvsgr Thanks! Always love visiting folks here. Will definitely be longer next time. 😉
Last talk is from Anukrity telling us about her experience with a tech bootcamp. Good reminder that not everyone in a bootcamp is a true junior – she’s got lots of experience but took time off for family. @JuniorDevSG https://t.co/hPXG5dlcQT
Tech changes fast. A three year gap meant Anukrity needed to get up to speed with TDD, git, and CI/CD. TechLadies helped her catch up. They even did mob programming, @WoodyZuill! https://t.co/3qF16mPiHg @JuniorDevSG https://t.co/7Uf5PjzvuS
@sunky Please meet @Mandy_Kerr and @Amys_Kapers. I’m sure they’d love to hear your story and welcome you to the group!
Ha! I look like a total dag. In my defence, this is the last day of two weeks of travelling and it’s freaking hot here. 😂 (Thanks @shirlaine_com! Lovely to meet you too.) ❤️ https://t.co/YxejBldWim
@cathjones0 Jollibee is my sugary bae. 😂
Number of times I have heard Despacito in Singapore: like 10 times in three days across multiple venues. How? Why? Did it just get here? Or are they just obsessed with it?
@IsraKaos Okay that actually made me snort with laughter. 😂

@KR_Barker The sad thing is I still kind of like it. 😂😂
@zarahjutz I got a Twirl. I wasn’t even hungry, but I had to get SOMETHING.
@JuniorDevSG And by Mai, of course I meant Jianlong. Apologies – I’m still learning!

RT @fordm: It’s less of a “news cycle” these days and more of that BSG episode where the Cylons attack every 33 minutes.
What’s the statute of limitations on when you stop filing bugs with an ex-employer? 😂
After 13 days of travelling, I’m ready to sleep in my own bed. 😴 See you soon Sydney! https://t.co/sYmNPBN8pH https://t.co/6omVpgBF2U

Last week a lovely (and high profile) speaker reached out to ask if I was interested in substituting for him for a conference he couldn’t attend. It meant the world to me.
Turns out the conference has already lined someone up, which is fine. But the fact that he reached out was so flattering and amazing.
Guys – if you get an opportunity you can’t use, please consider passing it on to a qualified person from an underrepresented group. We don’t get as many, and we’d really, really appreciate it. #champion #sponsor #thebest
