I'm in London. I made it! The only downside? I now realize how dumb I sound with a California accent. Everyone around me sounds sooooo smart.

So, people are arguing again about whether or not writing CSS and HTML is “programming”, instead of spending this precious time actually learning how to write these two languages properly and accessibly?

Right.

I really don’t miss Twitter at all.

Can't wait for a cryptocurrency with the ethics of Uber, the censorship resistance of Paypal, and the centralization of Visa, all tied together under the proven privacy of Facebook.

it was tragic, he wrote the database schemas for friendships, but he had no friends himself. he had 55 billion dollars instead

Nextdoor is a great social media network that helps you learn that the toxic, broken, bigoted world of global social media is *also* replicated at the *local* level, right in your own neighborhood! Three cheers for technology, folks.

Like three of my friends have their money Together. I certainly don't, and maybe if you think you could also use a cheerful cat-filled assist, peep my friend @anomalily's personal finance workbook! The KS ends tomorrow! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/anomalily/a-cats-guide-to-money-illustrated-purrsonal-finance-book

This afternoon I discovered the speakeasy inside @okta HQ. 🍺👌

Also OAuth! I mean, @timbray worked a lot on that, too. Which obviously raises XML, too. Probably all computing, if we're honest.

Fruits and tea options please. I don’t drink alcohol and don’t eat pizza

Honestly the biggest one is having a real enforceable CoC which details what one needs to do, how they can do it and what action is taken.

And remind everyone that you have a CoC at the start of the day.

If you serve alcohol, provide and state that its more than just beer, and serve other non-alcoholic drinks.

Encourage pronouns on badges and bios.

Not than just straight cut tshirts.

A quiet room.

Must have an enforceable CoC - more than just 'Be nice'.

Not-men speakers, panelists.
Not-men in promotional photos.
Childcare facilities (Tough. But good.)
Gender neutral toilets.
A wide range of age groups in photos and on-stage.

- Code of conduct
- Childcare / Don't be weird about people bringing babies
- Nothing integral at bizarrely early/late starts
- Loo roll. Seriously, those stupid tissue holders run out at busy events and an extra separate, backup loo roll is useful provision to keep stalls in use

- code of conduct
- reports on CoC violations and enforcement (I want to know the CoC is upheld and isn't meaningless)
- reasonable temperatures (not freezing)
- gender neutral restrooms
- menstrual products
