@laurieontech Riffing on this:
Communication isn’t just what you’re saying, or how you’re saying it (although those are important).

Communication is also making sure you’re saying it to the people who need to be a part of the conversation.

@Dr_Black @smithmegan @ghc @AnitaB_org So much awesome in one photo!

Good news: I'm 5 rows from the front for the #GHC19 keynote. Bad news: I’m at the far edge of the hall.
I’ll take that trade.

We know what a Queue() is

@rosegaelle @AnitaB_org @MorganStanley You have a minifig! I love it!

[Lorien Rensing @ GHC19 @MakerLorien]

Is it really worth heading over to OCCC early just so I can stand in line to get into the hall for the opening keynotes at #GHC19? I’m thinking a seat further back is a worthwhile trade for being able to sit down longer. #hardButMeaninglessDecisions

@Daminisatya The great thing about meeting people at #GHC19 is we’re all here for a common purpose, so we've got built in conversation starters!

[Lorien Rensing @ GHC19 @MakerLorien]

@laurieontech Only 3 on my phone, but I also 3 or 4 on my tablet and like 8 on my work computer. (There is overlap. The work computer has everything, including some groups that are pretty dead and I'm too lazy to drop.)

Found a little surprise waiting in my room tonight! #GHC19

[Lorien Rensing @ GHC19 @MakerLorien]

I still have the old laptop, so I could get the code via sneakernet, but honestly, I'm pretty sure my math was wrong in the old version. It's easier to just start from scratch at this point.

[Lorien Rensing @ GHC19 @MakerLorien]

So I was going to start working on a personal project that had been hibernating for a while. Turns out, the code was only on my old laptop, but not on GitHub.

Going to #GHC19 for the first time? Here’s a great summary of how to prepare!

@ghc @pwic_org @AnitaB_org @systers_org @CommunityAnitaB @akriticodes @ghc this is the correct link to the blog. I made a mistake and shared draft link 😭 https://t.co/DPSEZwDNbj

[Lorien Rensing @ GHC19 @MakerLorien]

This is a true thing

Just so we're clear, you can do great things with Windows, Linux, MacOS, etc.

You can do great things in Java, Python, C#, JavaScript, c++, etc.

Get over yourself and your chosen platform/toolset. Bashing others' choices doesn't make you cool or smart.

@Cary_Elwes @shanselman This tweet is the best thing to come out of this announcement.

[Lorien Rensing @ GHC19 @MakerLorien]

No. Just... no.

@laurieontech Live coding? You’re braver than I am.

[Laurie @laurieontech]

Your job as an interviewer is not the find your blank page developers. At least not in the majority of cases. You want your LEGO builders. Those who can stand atop the work of others and build something to even higher heights on a stable foundation.

@laurieontech Hey! It's a good rant! 😁
