@LASTconf your site had 2 problems.

The website for Brisbane won't let me use the contact page, just errors when I try to send.

And the link to the schedule, that the image uses, is for 2018.

Started a technical documentation project with our Technical Writer. Antora, Docker-Compose, Design System and Gitlab all involved. Making good progress so far #writethedocs #devops

@MelissaKaulfuss Why would you want to do that? What value does it add?

Genuinely curious, I see zero benefit to doing this at a developer level.

@jaredmorgs I don't think I know enough about cell towers then :) My thinking was that the signals are sent over the power lines, so the trains are basically just an access point.

Probably better to just add wifi to them and take the load off the network that way!

@jaredmorgs I don't want to make complex tables! I'd like to start blogging, and wanted to build a static site PWA using ReactJS for my own learnings and figured I should write the content in the right format. I was hoping Asciidoc would be the right one

[Ben Freke @BenFreke]

@jaredmorgs is asciidoc still the best choice for technical documentation?

[Ben Freke @BenFreke]

@jaredmorgs Does it need to? Phones connect via signal strength I thought?

@pottersjohn Preparing for the Ashes?

The ultimate test of your knowledge is your capacity to convey it to another.

An Italian magazine voted this as the worst 20 seconds of football ever played (QPR vs. Man City, 1993)

@AmandaMiottoGU I've skimmed this and it looks amazing. Will deep dive soon, thanks so much for publicly sharing! Hope the in person presentation goes brilliantly :)

@doncandon Sounds like a movie Guy Ritchie would direct ...

i wrote a piece on the career choices managers often don't realize they're making, especially around technical leadership vs organizational leadership. https://t.co/MeRxarueD7

@pottersjohn Yep, robins fan. And yeah, stats never show true picture which is why I asked.
