You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

A woman who rang ABC Sydney radio said she found out about the Optus outage from her cat.

The cat has an automatic wi-fi feeder (connected to Optus) & when breakfast wasn't delivered at 6:10 am, the cat went to the bedroom to lodge a complaint with management.

There's something really satisfying about running a SQL Saturday and being grateful for everyone there.

Reminds you of a koala you used to snuggle up to?

Really frustrating when we get a no-call no-show for a SQL Saturday Speaker. We saw an increase of suspicious or off-topic submissions this year in general.
