@FlyAirNZ I cannot thank your Auckland staff enough. I'm in a race to get home before a relative passes and your staff were more than helpful when I asked for an earlier flight after practically running from the international terminal. You've made a stressful trip so much easier.

Hey @DDDPerth 👋 is there a quiet room again this year?

@will_the_dev Wow 🤦‍♀️

Does that make the last store to change their branding the final countdown?

hey kiwi crew, I'm trying to write a section title for some resources on the indigenous people of NZ, does this sound right: "Māori people of Aotearoa New Zealand (Tangata Whenua)" 🙏 please correct me/offer suggestions if you can, trying to learn 🙂

@EliHolderness aw thanks! glad you enjoyed it!

I loved @hayley_codes 's practical demonstrations of colour models and spaces - it made me want to go and rumble up some mathsy visualisations of hex codes as vector spaces, and we got to pretend to be 5-year-olds for a while hour

Another year, another #NDCLondon! I had an incredible time seeing some fantastic talks, and it was an absolute blast (pun unintended) playing with @dylanbeattie and the Linebreakers on Thursday night 🤘🎵

@BenGamble7 @ThisIsJoFrank aw thanks @ThisIsJoFrank ! Here's a practice of it that was recorded at @DDDPerth youtube.com/watch?v=jALETm…

@ThisIsJoFrank @hayley_codes Going digging for this now...

My children are asking me about colors again... They have worked out that the basic explanation doesn't hold up.... How deep to we go?

How do I know we still have work to do to improve diversity in tech? I'm at #NDClondon and yea ... I'm definitely the only person in pink here 🙄

#ndclondon really knows who to give the "don't be a dick" lecture 👏👏👏 "If that person says they like the stickers on your laptop, they JUST like the stickers on your laptop." 👏👏

@Amys_Kapers I am LOVING it 😅 was in perth for 1 day before coming over and that was definitely more than enough time in that climate

Well this is a rude shock on arrival to London 😬

Hi @rohdesign 👋 I just tried to use the code at the back of my copy of the sketchbook workbook to get the downloadable worksheets but they don't show up anywhere on peachpit for me, any ideas?

@MitchPommers My mistake!

@hayley_codes Of course they do. Those 5 white guys all went to different private all boys schools and 2 different universities!

First thing on company jobs page: photo of 5 white guys Also company jobs page: "We recruit top candidates from diverse backgrounds and take active measures to recruit those from different walks of life." do you though?

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter. 🧵

@DivZero_ I've seen "associate". Honestly I like "junior" though. In my experience working with so many new/junior/associate/apprentice devs, having the "junior" title provides a little bit of reassurance of not needing to know everything. Would be curious to hear other people's opinions

I continue to hate the word "Junior" #developer. But career changers aren't "juniors" or "graduates". Please help me find a better, more generic, less infantilising word?

@ladykirikiri Thank you! I've passed this along

Do I know anyone who is neurodiverse and would be comfortable chatting with another neurodiverse peep who is looking for advice? Specifically this person is looking to get ideas for how to accomodate themselves so that it is easier to do their job, while managing ADHD and Autism.

@jackreichelt thanks for responding! They are going to follow and DM you ❤️

@hayley_codes I am maybe not the best help, given I didn’t do all that well at managing my adhd at a conventional job, but I’m happy to chat.

Giving a kick ass conference talk on a really technical computer science topic (which I researched for WEEKS) only to have a man come up afterwards to tell me the talk was ok but I missed some really important (completely irrelevant) concepts 🙄

My dog is so tiny that she fits in a guinea pig bed 😍
