With both of us travelling last week, I used @madpawsau to find a cat sitter comfortable with giving an annoyed Petey cat his thyroid medicine 2x a day. Happy to report it went really well! You can get $30 credit if you want to try them out: https://t.co/g3QLduVgUA

When employees are only to incentivised on showing impact and no one is rewarded for spotting/avoiding downsides, it causes huge problems in the Extract phase… (though for most companies hopefully not “destroying democracy”). 😳 #yowperth @KentBeck

Always exciting to hear from @mjpt777 – “that high speed trading guy from London” (among many other things)! #yowperth https://t.co/XAF6JA7KSH

I love how @mjpt777’s mind works. It’s a talk ostensibly about code but he’s already talked about coffee, black holes, Charles Darwin, Louis the XIV, courtesy, communities… #yowperth

---

@FakeSamRitchie @mjpt777 Awww, bless.

@mjpt777 Now covered rules of engagement in warfare; moving on to Gulliver’s Travels… 😂 #yowperth

I love how as @mjpt777 talks about a clever solution to a multicast protocol problem, he finds a way to point out that Sally Floyd’s first degree was in sociology, and that folks with different backgrounds find novel solutions to problems. ❤️👏 #yowperth https://t.co/HLwtY8hc7S

@mootpointer @Azure 🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉 (10X dragon)

Most folks are familiar with the legal risk around not being accessible. Sydney Olympics, Coles are local examples that ended in lawsuits. Retrofitting is 10x expensive, so build #a11y in from the get-go! #yowperth @LareneLg https://t.co/ZY4Ddo5Pxq

One thing I really liked from @LareneLg’s #a11y talk is that she described all of the photos she used in her slides. Easy thing to do – basically verbal alt tags for those listening to talk! #YOWPerth https://t.co/rj7vqA77RP

@i386 @carlfish Shit take or not, I miss Reader every single day.

---

@i386 @carlfish It wasn’t so much the functionality – there are loads of decent news readers – but it had a community built up. I used to share and comment with some very smart folks, the ones who were influencers before that term meant Instagrammers paid to hawk shit.

---

@i386 @carlfish And when it died, the community fragmented. And now all the content lives in walled gardens, and the only comments are outrage and echo chambers, and I despair.

@i386 @carlfish Plus it’s always fun to hate on Google for shitcanning useful stuff that could probably run on a PC under some dude’s desk.
