   I'm using the same method. But only went down this like the grandfather comment where I'd already been bitten by having the same email as amazon@domain.com for both AWS and Amazon. Fortunately creating aliases in Fastmail is very

   I was as shocked as you are when we started talking salaries. Thought I'd interview because I was getting sick of the old job. Wasn't intending to start actively looking. External recruiter approached me on LinkedIn, had an interv

    Brisbane has plenty of tech jobs. I'm netting $250,000 inc bonuses as an SRE and the markets rife for oppertunity. Not FAANG either.

    I haven't a broad experience with antimalware on Mac. I've only ever ran one and that's Malwarebytes. I haven't needed and wouldn't want to run anything else.
