Because meat isn't as commoditized, there's too many different grades and products. When 70%+ of your output turns into shelf-stable milk powder, it's all the same. Fonterra has kept local milk supplies in New Zealand at expo

Security and privacy are a nightmare. I wouldn't trust anything that requires heavy levels of compliance. However if you're a private individual or a startup, I'd go all-in until you either outgrow them or can afford nicer th

New Zealand doesn't really have brick or concrete buildings (except high-rises). Lots of very old weatherboard. And you're right, the advice these days isn't "get under" something, it's "get next to someth

Why do I have the opinion that ThoughtWorks is better than Accenture (or EY, Deloitte, etc)? Do they pay more for talent? About half the projects I see come out of non-boutique consultancies are shit. Actually, no. More than half lately. Pr

Hi Daniel, what's your pay band for Mid and Senior devs for Remote and Onsite positions?

I prefer Slack to emails and whatever godawful comms our teams had to use in the past. There's nowhere to hide with Slack. If you say something, you have to commit to it. Too often in the past I've been working on a project and so

I'm stoked for you OP - I wish there was a service that you could subscribe to when a SaaS product has existed and run okay for 2 years. Right now when I hear about something I use, I just set a calendar reminder for 18-24 months away.
