“Oh, you’re here! At your desk! I feel like I only ever see you in the office at nighttime.” A thing that was just said to me in the office at lunch. 😂

---

@FakeSamRitchie I literally said that to him. 🦇

---

@evanderkoogh I am living that bachelorette life, so let me know where you end up!

---

@evanderkoogh @MitchPommers @slace I wonder if any of us can finish up early enough today to get a booth at Baxter?

---

@hexsteph I gave up on that. Even the ones with rubbery bits don’t work. I just get the Hollywood Fashion Tape from Priceline and cut it down into a little square. That works.

---

@MitchPommers @evanderkoogh @slace I haven’t been in a while. I’d say see if you can get in, and if not we fall back to SG’s.

---

@evanderkoogh @MitchPommers @slace Find Redoak on Clarence St. Look across the street for the opening with the metal gate through to an alleyway. Go in there and turn right. There’s probably a queue. Go through metal door and down dodgy steps. 🙂

---

@evanderkoogh @MitchPommers @slace Yep. Don’t get eaten by the grue.

---

@slace @MitchPommers @evanderkoogh I just have to power through reviewing 9 CVs, and then I’m on my way. 😭

---

@MitchPommers @evanderkoogh Get a booth?

---

@evanderkoogh @MitchPommers Is it busy yet?

---

Sometimes the best part of being a grownup is being able to recreate the things you loved as a kid. ❤️😲 https://t.co/srztXtP1Is https://t.co/AwyyHDc2xP

---

@evanderkoogh @MitchPommers I’ve done enough. On my way.

---

@mage0r The Snook set up MAME for me and rewired some controllers to parallel port back in 2000, so he’s annoyed I bought this thing. But it’s so cute!

@gabehollombe @jashkenas I could knit that. 🤔

@gabehollombe @jashkenas OR! We use @Spoonflower to print this up and I make us matching vests, @gabehollombe. 😜

@lemon_lime Rodd’s away. You are very very welcome to come hang out!

---

Click-baity title but I definitely agree with @bigyahu here. Maybe the fact that I started my career in a hypergrowth startup in the dotcom boom is the reason I’ve never wanted to be a founder. 🤔 https://t.co/nG2tW3SeMs

Bloody impressed at @auscharwood sharing a photo of his teenage self along with a really honest and personal story about mental health. He’s now working at @LifelineAust, part of an org that saves people’s lives. Sydney tech community has some amazing folks… ❤️ #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/BJcHJzUOfM

Learning about BeachOps from @AnnieTingLin at @VMwareAU. I like the sound of this! #dotc19 #dotc 🏝 https://t.co/rTv0UjyVIq

---

Next up is @grant_simonds from setting the scene for a big challenge – transforming a lumbering monolith into a modern microservice-based architecture for the @Telstra TV box. It’s always great to hear real stories from local experts! #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/MxMeNBmbYu

Wow, from 4 months for a production change down to 2-4hrs! Scaling can also change in 5 min rather than estimating months in advance. @Grant_Simonds #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/5iEjUImUeb

Final speaker is Oshri Zhi from @BPAY_AU. Some very big numbers – $2B in transactions every day! #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/3m8MbqbdH2

---

RT @frankarr: Visualizing big data with AWS AppSync, Amazon Athena, and AWS Amplify https://t.co/B5kGiis4YV via @awscloud

---

Interesting. Both Oshri from @BPAY_AU and @Grant_Simonds from @Telstra have found mid-morning (10-11am) is the best time to kick off their releases. Team is caffeinated and ready to go, and customer impact is minimal. #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/l5hr6y6FYo

---

@GlennSarti @Grant_Simonds In case of Telstra TV, it was based on traffic patterns and load I believe.

Thrilled to finally get to rock an @awscloud Inclusion Ambassador shirt after being jealous of @glenngore’s! (Note to future self: make sure hair is smooth before someone takes a photo from behind… 🙃) https://t.co/jV2YznJ2EJ

---

Almost at the end! Egos Cole from @fastlane_it is giving us some very pragmatic tips for regulating DevOps. (He also pointed out how many folks were willing to plug their mobile phones to charge in a strange device!) 😲 #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/M9Iz8TvwFe

---

@desplesda We missed you! 👋

Final speaker is my buddy @nathenharvey challenging the audience right out of the gate: “SRE comes from the mindset that the most important feature for any system is reliability.” #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/VerFCKsZO9

Closest @unlikelylibrary and I have ever come to an argument: Captain America vs Aquaman. (For the record, while Momoa is hot, he also looks smelly. Captain America = #1 forever amen.) https://t.co/7Zd3IU6E2V

---

Well that’s different. 🦄🍷 https://t.co/t5Uqje17DG https://t.co/gQ61n1Qx0t

---

@seemomster @unlikelylibrary No, as in Jason Momoa always looks like he hasn’t showered in several days. Fortunately it seems @unlikelylibrary is into that. 😐

---

@mattallen Quite possibly. I was not a big fan.

---

@ManuelaDavo @unlikelylibrary More of an “unshowered” vibe.

---

@tomandlorenzo I just realised that there’ll be a 24 year age gap between Stu and Frannie. That feels a little icky to me, regardless of how young Marsden looks. 😕

---

@tomandlorenzo Just checked – Sinise & Ringwald had a 13 year gap.

Next up is @markangrish from ANZ talking about how to be customer-centric, even in a big bank. Do you even know who your customer is? #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/htWQgr6fIo

---

Next up is @AnthonyRees from @chef talking about “The Coded Enterprise”. He and the Chef team earned my love today by offering curvy cut t-shirts in an actual COLOUR! 👏👏 #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/9OLi5p2vx2

---

@mattstratton @AnthonyRees @chef They also have an NES at the booth! and let me play it! and were very kind when they later told me I had to share with others! 😂

---

Next speaker is Carmel Hinks from @Atlassian, talking about an iterative approach to metrics and dashboards. Love that she started preso with an overview of a particular problem space for context! #dotc19 #dotc (Also, “Sherlock Holmes (DevOps Advocate” 👏😂) https://t.co/SXftUNVfXV

---

Carmel says @Atlassian didn’t invent TechOps, but they found it super helpful to iterate on operational health. #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/3Vjuy2VnbQ

---

Next up is my colleague Brandon Grenier from @awscloud and Yuri Belenky from @NAB talking about Continuous Governance. Again, emphasis on expressing things in code, lots of automation. DevGovOps? 🤔 #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/1vNXMYtyaN

Final talk is @Hatchman76 from @seek helping us learn from incidents. Some interesting numbers: 160 AWS accounts (“about 150 more than we need, truthfully”) and 1000+ deployments a month. #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/JAY9uOs6rq

---

@Hatchman76 @seek Or was it a year? Still a big improvement over where they were!

---

“We are not building cars at @seekjobs,” @Hatchman76 says. Root Cause Analysis doesn’t work well on complex systems, because you’ll overlook possibly quite a lot of the contributing factors. #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/ebDZNWaqF1

So impressed and proud of @nellshamrell for bravely sharing her burnout story with the @DevOpsTalks community. “It is not possible to push through burnout and come out the other side okay!” More folks need to hear this message! #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/h3agX5TPhP

To capture knowledge from super busy folks who are critical to your project/company, consider a simple screen recording! Good idea. @nellshamrell #dotc19 #dotc https://t.co/W9j1RTEfVt
