I've just added Workflows, giving you the ability to automatically build entire Workflows using contexts you've installed

e.g., in your local runtime, like Claude or ChatGPT, you can type `use pv workflow new-feature` which is a more powerful, tailored way of typing `use pv product-manager+designer+engineer+qa-engineer+gtm-strategist`

I agree personally that it's not about money, but It's an individual scale I guess

Yeah, I touched on the lifestyle here being good, I completely relate - I just think it creates a conundrum.

Given this reality, we'll continue to be safe/slow followers to the rest of the world. Which is sad given this statistic! It is a huge wasted opportunity where we could be leaders in ideation, creations, thoughts, inventions etc.

I don't want life to change, but in the bigger picture, I don't want us to fall behind in the pack.

Do you know what is a real shame? This statistic doesn't really correlate with the highest quality output.

Most of them who stay put in Australia never really get to put their skills to good use. Our digital landscape is quite conservative & somewhat arguably boring, consisting of mainly traditional finance/banking & insurance - and we all know how these companies work internally (digital as a cost centre).

Don't get me wrong, there are a few startups floating around who are growing up e.g., Canva, Campaign Monitor, Atlassian (for which I'd argue is a US company), but even the bigger ones only hire a couple of thousand on-shore devs a piece. Most of the good devs with half an inkling go overseas when they finish Uni to earn good coin and work on far more shaping stuff.

I think we are risk-averse in Australia due to life being pretty good on average here (so what's the point?), which is fine, but more jarringly; the Government do very little to assist or incentivise entrepreneurs. I wish they did more, we'd see way more talent remain here and plenty of more ideas come to life!

Looks great, will definitely be trying this out. Is it available in Australia?

Nice find, thanks!

This is a great idea and something we definitely want to showcase on the marketing pages. We want to attract those who might not be sure what a retro is, how a retro is done and how easy continuous improvement can be practiced - so we’re going to ramp up attention to onboarding.

We plan to split marketing and app pages up, so no more spinner soon. Apologies for the wait time!

I'm also confused. Flickr, another Yahoo product has 4/5. Perhaps it's due to it being a more recent acquisition and the wheels are still in motion, or perhaps since there is so much sharing of copyrighted information it would be near impossible to maintain the cost of keeping up with these standards.
