LOL – so I gave a big spruik for @SydTechLeaders right before @caseyrosenthal proceeded to absolutely savage all of us as part of engineering bureaucracy. 😂 (He does have a point.) #yow19 https://t.co/u3pPihlXvs

“I’ll be more provocative. If you’re doing RCA, YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG. Best case scenario, you’re wasting your time.” @caseyrosenthal pulling no punches today! #yow19 https://t.co/AhvNLfJh7F

Continuing the theme of complexity, next up is @lizthegrey who is going to give us tips about managing it. @honeycombio #yow19 https://t.co/VMiFHWtF3x

We have subsisted on heroism in the engineering and operational fields for way too long. Our heroes are exhausted. #yow19 @lizthegrey https://t.co/uQ662acjI5

I liked @lizthegrey’s realisation, “Oh, I’m in Australia! I can get colourful…” 😂👍 #yow19 https://t.co/1DvCTz2Ibk

Steps to Production Excellence: Know when your systems are broken; be able to debug them, in cross-functional teams; and close feedback loop by eliminating (unnecessarily) complexity. @lizthegrey #yow19 https://t.co/IFED8TgZMs

Error budgets allow you to prioritise incidents based on severity – and whether to wake somebody up. #yow19 @lizthegrey https://t.co/RIHXzY8zun

---

What a great idea – @lizthegrey includes a QR code with link to @honeycombio incident report to add more context to her talk. I remember following this on social media at the time… #yow19 https://t.co/FytWniXkUd https://t.co/ObmZY6Aqit

---

@hillelogram I want that to come up in the captions. 😂

---

Outages don’t repeat, but they do rhyme. I like this analogy. @lizthegrey #yow19 https://t.co/WyNob0FLDg

@caseyrosenthal Let’s be honest – we’re all gonna be first against the wall anyway. 😂

When I’m Queen of the World, I intend to pass a law that you are only allowed ONE single Instagram Advent Calendar post per day, regardless of how many stupid calendars you bought. 👑

---

@The_McJones Sustained. I’ll allow it.

My @SydCSS costume for tonight has been vetted by @the_snook and @gilmae. (The things I do for @mobywhale…) #nospoilers

---

@gilmae We need *more* of those, silly.

@mmastertheone If you’re doing multiple, you weren’t among the people I’m thinking of so you must not be too bad. 😂

@mmastertheone Twitter is fine! Instagram is what’s driving me batty.

TFW you send in your @SydCSS “interesting facts about the speaker” info two hours before the meetup starts. (Sorry!)

---

@mobywhale @SydCSS That is 100% okay too!!!

---

@msharp @mobywhale @SydCSS That was a time. My Fitbit got quite a workout!

---

@taminap CONGRATULATIONS!! 🎉

---

@200ok @msharp @mobywhale @SydCSS You might think that, but I couldn’t possibly confirm other than to say cracking an Enigma machine is bloody difficult.

Never seen so many people in Sydney wearing face masks. The smoke is making me feel physically ill. 😷🤮 https://t.co/XnRsd1Hq7S https://t.co/qYGlBrC9Lx

I still can’t believe I talked about why Ireland is awesome and didn’t mention @soxyface RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. 🤦‍♀️

---

As @iamnotyourbroom put it, I won the Electoral College vote. 😐

---

@allPowerde Someone told me there are knitters on Twitch. I tried it once but it was really boring. I have to figure out how to make it more exciting.

---

I love the inexplicable image of me ranting about industrial engineering, IN FRONT OF A CHILD, with a Boba Fett helmet and Yoda doll. (This is right before I dropped the F-bomb IIRC.) https://t.co/0Rkmd7fqOH

---

The Snook just called me basic. 😐 https://t.co/obB514uZ4e

---

Not that it’s important to me or anything, but I was right that Boba Fett died in the Sarlacc Pit. He only survived in the EU, which is no longer canon. *sideeye at @200okpublic and @msharp* 💅 https://t.co/pEuZDpOldx

---

@msharp @200okpublic I see what you did there.

---

@Marina_Nikit4uk @sashaeve @randyshoup @dylanbeattie @luckygirliegirl Love it!! Thank you… ❤️

---

@MikeMartin604 @simonswiss @SydCSS @lol_russo @200okpublic Now you know why Mandalorians have such raspy voices.

---

@evolvable +10 for the Richardson gif. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

---

@evolvable Character from the show Deadwood. One of my favourites. 😂

---

@heydonworks There a brief scene in Willy Wonka where there are hands as living coat hooks.

---

@BronwenZ Special event we’re doing for 500 primary and secondary school girls in Blacktown. We’ve got an expo with lots of cool tech to play with, as well as panel of women in tech and a silly little keynote from me. ❤️

---

@BronwenZ Yes, afaik. It’s something our infrastructure team organised I believe. Seems like there’s a lot of demand though!

---

There’s just so much wrong here, @GIPHY. https://t.co/ep1faMEChb A bunch of those are Poldark, for crying out loud. And I really need a “Shall we be quite safe here, Mr. Darcy?” one. (I use that phrase, like, weekly.)

---

@phermens @BronwenZ I will definitely pass on that feedback!

---

RT @_alexrowland: Ok, I know my whole brand is enthusiastic capslock screeching, but I need to be serious for a second. I need to tell you…

---

@damovisa It was in the previous version of the talk! 😜

Love @twilio’s approach to tech conference swag – non-black/blue/grey shirts and actual SCRUNCHIES! 😍 Thanks @philnash. #yow19 https://t.co/APYMb344id

---

Lots of chuckling as @caseyrosenthal tells us about his career journey through the 15th and 19th centuries… #yow19 https://t.co/obaDaXHvto

---

Engineers implicitly operate within this model – economics, workload, safety. No need to make rules about economics and workload – we have intuition on how far we can push. But on safety… we don’t. That’s why we still have incidents. #yow19 @caseyrosenthal https://t.co/N10iHbVjwA

---

@caseyrosenthal Chaos engineering is about uncovering systemic weakness and helping engineers build that safety intuition. #yow19 @caseyrosenthal https://t.co/OMC52g12TX

---

Complex systems are ones where a person cannot possibly model it in their head. (Reminds me of Jane from the Ender books…) @caseyrosenthal on why Netflix doesn’t have chief architects. #yow19 https://t.co/7DQSLTvSeh

I see what you did there, @caseyrosenthal… 😂 #yow19 https://t.co/o7mJNuZ6NS

@frankarr WANT.

It’s always an absolute honour to be invited to track host at @yow_conf Sydney, but doubly so when I get to introduce @caseyrosenthal and @lizthegrey ! 😍 #yow19

@PeopleOfCraft @verypink I know other folks who rave about it too, but I’ve never been able to get into it. 🤷‍♀️

Excitement in the air as we set up for AWS Girls’ Tech Day in Blacktown! Looking forward to meeting the technologists of the future today. #awsgirlstechday https://t.co/zGRsUjI1Of

The kids arriving, and they are in for a fun day! Robots and 3D printing and Arduinos and laser cutters, oh my! #awsgirlstechday https://t.co/vt6ZFfHlFt

Keynote finished! Now the panel is on. I cheered embarrassingly loudly when Ritu, who is in year 10 at Blacktown High School, proudly announced that she was on an all girl robotics team. ❤️🤖👏 #awsgirlstechday https://t.co/DZYQ9fCwUY

@darthted Good job!!

Thanks to the @DDDBrisbane organisers for inviting me to give the locknote on Saturday! Loved hanging out with the QLD tech community again, and great to see so many first time speakers. #dddbne #dddbrisbane https://t.co/A6Q4XXgs2m

---

And on a purely self-serving note, this means I’ve now locknoted at THREE different DDDs in Australia: @DDDPerth, @DDDMelb, and @DDDBrisbane. So if anybody from @dddsydney or @DDDAdelaide is reading, I’d love to collect the full set! 😜

---

@cczona @DDDBrisbane I honestly don’t even remember doing that. It’s like I black out when I’m presenting. 😂

---

@csferrie @DDDPerth @DDDMelb @DDDBrisbane @dddsydney @DDDAdelaide Wonder K/Chrisses ACTIVATE!

---

@JayHealey @DDDBrisbane Thank you James! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
