Sydney Tech Leaders@sydtechleaders.bsky.social · 2mo agoI heard Molly speak last year, and one tip she shared really stuck with my: you “took a redundancy.” You didn’t “get made redundant.” One is active, and one is something that happened to you. Reframe your story to be ACTIVE. #sydtechleaders
The official part of the festivities has begun! We have NINE lightning talk speakers tonight. ⚡️ #sydtechleaders
Lightning talks are one of my favourite nights of the year! Thank you to all our amazing speakers who took time out of their busy weeks to craft spectacular 5 minute lightning talks. And thank you [redacted] for this BTS camera angle and reminding me I need to get back to the gym 😆😳🫣😅
Sydney Tech Leaders@sydtechleaders.bsky.social · 2mo agoThere’s a sense of excitement as Jack wrangles cats (and speakers) for tonight’s lightning talks! #sydtechleaders
MTBFAFO of token costs is… honestly exhilarating rn

I’ve been meaning to evaluate my web hosting… so currently open to recommendations for webflow alternatives! 👀
Anna E. Cook@annaecook.com · 2mo agoI’m trying not to pay too much attention to the dumpster fire in tech right now. But man Webflow wtf. They laid people off without notice apparently, just locked them out of their computers. The CEO same day proudly announces an AI pivot
My talk "Cryptic crosswords, Code golf and Learning the rules of a language" has been accepted by @pyconau.bsky.social Squee! I have already asked @liam_runnalls of permission to use some clues. This is going to be fun!
Psst! Have you heard? The #PyConAU schedule is now live! We're so excited to share the amazing line up of speakers who will be sharing their expertise at the conference this year! You don't want to miss it! 📆 2026.pycon.org.au/schedule 🎟️ 2026.pycon.org.au/tickets Help us get the word out? 📣
enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences
Anyways I'm giving a talk at Sydney Tech Leaders next week about going from 30 merged PRs on a peak weekday to 70, and the platform engineering work and discipline that kept that rate of change from knocking us over. Hope to see folks there! luma.com/sydtechleaders
