@nikkiricks BA and then manager for me (with a heap of disillusionment on the side), long time ago. Mostly because I was fed up working with and for jerks.

---

@nikkiricks Oh, I still had to work with jerk developers. But the gender balance in the BA world is much more even, so I felt like I had more support and wasn’t on my own.

---

@lynnlangit @awscloud Really hoping to be!!

The inspiring @LoveAndMaths kicking off today’s @codelikeagirlau session. I forgot how much I missed hearing Acknowledgement of Country. ❤️🇦🇺 https://t.co/RcJJfkWRK2

RT @codelikeagirlau: First panellist is Kris Howard (@web_goddess) of @AWS Developer Relations Team, coming in from Germany: “My mom was in…

@codelikeagirlau @canva As part of the epic 2016 Hackathon. ❤️ https://t.co/H9jGtv4Qqn

RT @codelikeagirlau: One very cool claim-to-fame for Kris: “I was the first woman to contribute to the code base at @canva.” 🤩
@web_goddess…

@joneaves @envato Congrats! Seems like they have a lot of great folks working there these days. 🙂

---

@the_nathanjones @joneaves @envato OH YOU TWO. You know you’re both the Best, right? 😍

---

Thanks for having me, @codelikeagirlau! Gosh, I miss hearing Aussie accents. ❤️ What an amazing group of tech folks. I can’t wait to see what you all accomplish in the future… #CrackingTech https://t.co/SY6bLNbaus

A 31-degree day? I’ve forgotten what this feels like!! ☀️☀️❤️❤️ https://t.co/MOVBbJBjqf

@Malarkey Interesting. I found it really hard to identify with Don. Relatedly, I have Peggy figurine with the sunnies, box, and cigarette sitting below my computer monitor, reminding me every day to kick ass.

---

@Malarkey With special thanks to friends @gilmae and @randomknits for getting it for me. ❤️😎 https://t.co/aTCcv4pKfH

---

@Malarkey @gilmae @randomknits Ooh, she needs a dusting…

---

@Malarkey For several years running, I gave a talk at Girl Geek Sydney’s events entitled “Presenting Your Hack: Channeling Your Inner Peggy Olson” with tips for crafting a memorable pitch. I even dressed up as her. I ❤️ PEGGY FOREVER.

---

@Malarkey @gilmae @randomknits Zero regrets, my friend.

RT @pachicodes: Do I know any women or non binary friends looking for a senior role in #devrel?

KNITTERS – they’re bringing out @SchittsCreek YARN and PATTERNS! 😍🧶 This is amazing. Well done @LionBrandYarn! Absolutely genius. I can’t wait to knit my own David Rose sweater… https://t.co/hJcKskpy3l

Just received my stunning kit for @sawdustbear’s game “A Mending.” I’m actually very far from all my dearest friends right now, and if only I could walk through these beautiful woods to visit them! ❤️🌳🧵🪡 https://t.co/4WDnaLcGtj

---

Both @darkosubotica and @Vel12171 from my team will be speaking at this event today! Still time to register. 😍 https://t.co/U7MudfwwgO

---

@darkosubotica duckyPad!! 🦆❤️

---

And they worked great! I remember having passionate debates about that Webmonkey article about how best to nest your tables for optimal performance. Ahh, good times. (Tagging @codepo8 as I’m pretty sure I even have some dodgy team photos of him from those days…) https://t.co/H6FuEiVb23

---

Excited to (virtually) attend my first @blndevops meetup tonight! First up is Elmar Weber, CTO at @ambossmed, starting his talk on driving culture through infrastructure by remind us how things used to work in the Waterfall days… https://t.co/b5xpvXfnoD

---

@blndevops @ambossmed Elmar says that @ambossmed’s plan for their development platform got thrown out the window when the team grew 4x as large as expected! So they spent time to plan and define goals, such as allowing a new engineer to deploy a new service within minutes. https://t.co/Im5EFaZb23

---

@blndevops @ambossmed Lots of good takeaways from this talk, but I especially liked how Elmar made sure to hit “Don’t ever build your own Kubernetes cluster if you can avoid it” multiple times. 😂 https://t.co/OtnI0EeVcK

---

@der_rehan @Vel12171 That’s really cool Rehan, nice job!! 👏

The advent of the Cloud and virtualisation has enabled the rise of dev and the concept of “shifting left,” says @yishaibeeri from @LinearB_Inc, ultimately leading to code eating the world… @blndevops https://t.co/6HxiGxdr2a

---

@yishaibeeri @LinearB_Inc @blndevops Useful Dos and Don’ts of shifting left – automate mundane steps; fail early with quick feedback; and don’t rely on metrics you look at once a month to tell you when something goes wrong. https://t.co/yLyJ7K09Ly

Freshly baked apricot crisp for breakfast al fresco… on a Tuesday?! 😍🍑 @ Theresienhöhe https://t.co/jMFFi7Vo1T

@DgtlNmd It’s Berlitz Level A2.3, but the teacher is slipping in some refresher material for things we’ve told her we need to review. (I was pretty conversational 25 years ago, but a lot of the grammar is very rusty now!)

---

@mirabeladd Thanks for the recommendation! I’m doing a Berlitz course through work, but will definitely keep it in mind for after. 🙂

---

@FrankPrechtel @dnsmichi OOHHH, truth be told Würste > Kekse in my house, so I am looking forward to that Frank!!

---

We had a team caricaturing lesson. I am… not good at this. #growthmindset 🎨🤪 @ Theresienhöhe https://t.co/lJekKa0ZjV

Me, riding through the Munich city center tonight: “Why are there so many police cars around?!” Oh. Apparently France are playing Germany tonight. 😂⚽️ #Euro2020 🇩🇪 GO DEUTSCHLAND!

---

@dnsmichi Awww, böse Michi! 😂

---

@dnsmichi We didn’t watch either. Only realised tonight that we’ve never actually tuned the TV to local channels! 😂
