I wonder, @qbhelp.bsky.social , if your colleagues over in Quickbooks Consumer are quite well, because this response is UTTERLY REDICULOUS.

I am *greatly* pleased to announce that I'm speaking at #DDDBrisbane, about #demographics, and #system_design, and how we make bad assumptions about the former when doing the latter.

It's called "Names, and Other Lies" and I'm quite proud of it. Do come if you're in #Brisbane (and have a ticket.)
