@JonRowe Very valid choices!

@JonRowe Solo hacking? The reading room in the city library is amazing. Not good if you want to talk to others though

@mark_barbs 🥢

@johnbarton Culture Amp used Blameless with a Slack integration so that CS could alert via PagerDuty. Seemed to work ok

I have found the process of connecting zendesk and opsgenie an absolute dogs breakfast. is the pagerduty (or other competitor) story there any better? i just want there to be a way for customer support to escalate into the same eng pager as our alerts

As a nearly 40yo, I just want to thank science for Hydralite!

@sugendran It’s because you didn’t bless them down in Africa

I for one did not have The Rains on my bingo card.

@JonoInAotearoa I’m quite partial to @LookaheadSearch

Do I know any .net devs in Australia/ Nz? Also devs in those regions - recruiters who you don't hate or possibly hate the least? Not for me, before you ask.

@lachlanhardy Sleep and swim. Maybe read something. Eat lots

being comfortable with opening up and reading the source code of a library or tool in order to understand how something works is truly a game changer. i can't tell you how many times reading the source code has helped me when the documentation was lacking or outdated!

@MelissaKaulfuss Melburnian* 😂

You know you are a Melbournite when you’re sipping a magic, eating a mörk cinnamon bun at the Queen Victoria Market.

👋 I'm currently looking for a new role. Recently, I've been working with products using Ruby and Typescript in UTC+11 (Australian EST) timezone. DMs are open for CVs, and any RT is super appreciated. ♥️ My open source work @ github.com/colby-swandale

@MelissaKaulfuss We bought a koala mattress. Came in a box, they took the old one away. I love it, very comfortable, and quite affordable too

How do people buy deluxe/comfortable mattresses these day, like the ones in hotels? Order one that comes in a box or from a shop? We haven’t bought one in…checks notes…20 years.

So Moulin Rouge might just be my favorite musical ever… so well done! Can’t wait to see it again 😁😁😁

@Zajakot Great day for it! 😉

@mark_barbs Does it really grind your gears?

@johnbarton Must have been a fancy party!

I was at a party tonight which meant the first time I put closed toe shoes on in I don't know how long.

@mark_barbs Hey Siri: Remind me not to buy a used car from Barbs

@lachlanhardy Music is one of the few times I get into “get off my lawn” mode. Been reminiscing so hard!

It’s been a full on couple of years, and I’ve definitely aged out of triple j, but it’s so heartwarming to have the wiggles win the Hottest 100
