You can't buy food with an IOU from your employer.

I agree with you.

Whenever I've been in seriously challenging situations at work, having real, deep, personal relationships with my team made it far easier to have difficult conversations.

Forging real bonds gives you a foundation that you can actually build a strong team on top of: you can have tough conversations from a position of empathy and compassion; and if you need people to just "get it done", it's much easier to ask a friend to do you a solid and just get the work over the line.

I work for a company with full pay transparency – well, complete transparency across all parts of the organisation – I can't imagine working in an opaque environment ever again. I love it.

My nephew built this as one of his first Mindstorms projects. It works amazingly well, especially given the limited components - quite extraordinary to see in action.

Definitely interested. My email is also in my profile.

Thanks for mentioning this! I had completely missed the announcement. That's really exciting, I wonder if pin.net.au will adjust their pricing to match Stripe's. Good to have some healthy competition locally.

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
