I make decisions on implementation and payment for our Enterprise use of Atlassian today (mid 6 figures per annum of spend) - and I'm definitely shopping for alternatives!

You joke, but that does seem to be happening from what I've seen - Agile Coaches are rebranding to become "AI coaches" or "AI Enablers".

Nice work.. I'm building the same thing right now. Partly because we need this and don't have the budget for Artifactory etc., and mainly to test out largely hands free, agentic development.

Considering Cook Strait is one of the most dangerous and unpredictable waters in the world - I think I'll pass on flying through it! I've had some dodgy passages through the Wellington harbour entrance - as much as this should fly

> The survey was conducted in January and February 2023. As an NZ based CTO - I feel things have slowed quite a bit since the start of the year. That said, the market is more buoyant than the US based on comments from others here. I thin

Based off examining the HTML recently when I was trying to diagnose a problem the other month where teams refused to pay a video - no.

It's an interesting article overall - but it seems to be half written now, and half written earlier in 2022. There's no publish date on the blog article that I can see. Google seems to think it was posted 3 days ago - but in the a

Big news? It's certainly not a topic of active conversation in NZ. It was talked about for a day or two when it was announced a while back - I haven't seen a single news article about it recently, nor has anyone talked about it. T

Oh - I misread the comment. It's not fixed - they're all digital. Apologies.

The majority of New Zealand petrol stations display the fractional cent too. Same in Australia from memory.

Agreed. I have zero concerns that the NZ government is censoring content that it shouldn't. If that ever changes - we'd notice - and we'd make people aware of it.

Interesting read. My grandfather was the "cigarette officer" in Stalag Luft III (the Great Escape PoW camp). His duty was the distribution of the incoming Red Cross cigarettes. The job was his due to the fact that he didn't s

I have - but did so by putting a Cloud Run nginx proxy between Cloudflare and Webflow. I haven't had issues with Cloudflare blocking IPs - however the site in question is rather low traffic, so we probably don't pop up on their li

huh, so that's what's happening to me. I was wondering what the likely cause of the kernel panic issue might be. This might be the impetus I needed to try one of these Mac docker alternatives.

That's a rather sensationalist headline. Written by an Australian looking at graphs, rather than having a feel for what's going on. I'm sure he's a capable economist, but based on what I see, New Zealand is not "plu

I know a guy doing this - ex-Typhoon / Tornado pilot, retired. Went over there earlier this year. The lure to fly fighter planes again was a big draw - plus the massive sack of cash. He said it wasn't weapons training or even tact

My understanding is that it could be made to work, but Starlink came along and clearly solved the problem of delivering high speed internet to remote areas better.

New Zealand does not require ID at the voting booth. We would generally be considered to be near the top of the list for "remotely democratic countries". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_identification_laws

Angular was a reasonable choice - it's well suited to "enterprise" web applications as it has standard ways of doing things the Angular way in contrast to React which has 3 - 5 options for different things. Certainly back whe

Not sure these "market share" competitions are very useful. Includes SaaS cloud revenue for MSFT - which is the largest portion - an area where AWS doesn't compete (well, not meaningfully). Also, in the past didn't MSFT

Assuming these airships are VTOL and can land on non-runway surfaces (e.g. large open fields) you'd think this would beat airplanes by a lot more than 20% overall as you wouldn't have the additional costs of getting the heavy carg

That was a detailed post. Fellow kiwi and parent of a T1D diagnosed at the same age. Our kid is now 16, so I'm pleased to have the toddler years behind us. That said, teenage years bring different challenges. I wish we'd had the o

Good point on the sustained usage changing the economics at the scale they're at, I didn't really factor that in. The pricing calculation is even more complex than it seems. Cloud Run doesn't charge per request if you have &q

Rather surprised they didn't migrate from App Engine to Cloud Run. This would seem like the simpler and more direct migration path.

It looks like with this service the user who can generate a TOTP can't see the backing seed. Therefore, if they leave, and get removed from Slack, they can't generate a code. If you just shared the seed then everytime someone lef

Agreed... GCP isn't perfect by any means, but I find it much better than AWS, and miles better than Azure.

I happily stumbled across Leapp a few months ago - such an improvement for AWS SSO. Really looking forward to GCP support when it's ready.

Pleased to see this feature. The one feedback I'd give is that it's hard for a user to know they can adjust the quantity on mobile. You have to click the "Details" link in the top right, and it's not really obvious

This is why many systems - I've seen it with Microsoft and Salesforce - set a "minimum password age". Which is usually a minimum of 1 day. This way, you can't change your password more than once a day. This makes quickly

Sounds great - but maybe a simpler first step would be just estimating the carb content. This way you'd get type 1s interested too. It would be the first step before insulin/carb ratios and glycemic index become factors.
