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 above it, I'd be feeling rather nervous.

That said, given how much the current ferry has issues - maybe this is just as safe.

> 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 think things will pick up in the new year again.

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 article you have sentences like "However, some of the most in-demand phones are expected to become more available by February 2022." Which adds to the confusion of the currency of some of the statements / observations.

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. The opposition political parties haven't made a big deal out of it either that I've noticed.

I don't think anyone really cares. With vaping still being allowed - it's all a bit moot. Anyone born after 2008 is going to be buying a vape.

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 smoke (at least that's what I was told).

He was also on the list to get out in the Great Escape - but was far enough down the list to never make it out of the tunnel. His job during tunnel construction was sand dispersal - socks down trousers that were released in the middle of a game of football.

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 list.

Main reason for doing this was having routing control. We also had a long list of redirects to manage from an old site, and it was easier to do this in an nginx config.

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 "plunging". There's definitely a slow down - but I think most businesses are expecting a relatively soft landing.

I guess time will tell.
