[Simon Mackinnon @simonmackinnon]

Great meetup! Loved telling people about "Hacking the IT Interview" to people (a summary of the chapter from @simpleprogrammr's book! https://t.co/iOZr00AEDM). Awesome when the pieces fall into place - business mindset for devs! #hackingtheinterview #meetup #communityofpractice

[Dev(){COP} @dev_cop]

We had some great topics today. My personal fav was on soft skills for devs - it’s an important and often overlooked part of the job!#leancoffee #Developer #meetup #Melbourne
