Same deal, never had to worry about it or think about it ever so I consider it money well spent.
The sale to twodegrees doesn't leave my hopeful though. Not because of twodegrees themselves, but if myrepublic found this product unsustainable I can't see it lasting unchanged or at the same quality from it's new owner
Maybe something to look into when my wifes position stabilises. I'm in Tauranga though so the critical mass here for IT employment may not be sufficient.
Ain't that the truth. Or the ones that have been advertising for 3 months straight.
But I'm not sure I'm built for the contractor/project hopping lifestyle. Maybe I need to change my attitude about that stuff. I'm very precious about building good foundations and that sort of thing

Have you considered high pay, short hours, not caring about everything imploding because the people who make decisions don't understand them, just let the implosion happen?
As long as my ability to do my job doesn't get sledgehammered by the implosion, where do I sign up?
Just got back from a month in Europe. It's cold here yo.
While I was gone, work had to make some decisions about what direction to pursue our data needs.

Must be that time of the year where I look for a job with worse quality of life but that actually takes data and IT seriously.
Just spent a week in southern France, their transport in general is a gong show. It's less that they fail at doing it well and more that they clearly just don't care
It feels like we're in good hands either way. Thanks!
That would be huge
I went to check my lemmy on my browser and it was just jacked full of meme pages amd subreddit clones that I'd blocked on my mobile client
Ah, right on.
Agreed on the value of the specificity, just in my experience you need to be ready to hold firm against bad-faith actors who try to rules-lawyer you.
Yeah an absolute bolt from the blue, how can New Zealand ever prepare for the sudden and unprecedented invasion of multistory buildings.
Saw a comment on my local councils post of someone worried that the Tauranga CBD would look like Shanghai in a fews years "at the rate they're going".
Some of the most popular, picturesque tourist spots and residential locales in the world make NZs "high density" plans look laughably wasteful in comparison, and people are still tearing their hair out about it.
