So uh, if anyone knows a good intermediate software engineer or high junior ready for that next step..... We're a small team, which means lots of autonomy and you can learn a bunch of stuff. Also working with me, maybe that's a bonus.

Transgender rights are under attack from all 3 coalition parties. David Seymour has been clear that he believes in "safe spaces" for "biological women" and segregated toilets for transgender folk. Vote them out.

David Seymour says Kiwis are too squeamish about privatisation – history shows why they lost the appetite
The ACT Party leader believes government assets should provide a return or be sold. But a majority of New Zealanders are consistently opposed to more privatisation.

Of relevance to NZ too when it has one of the highest incarceration rates in the developed world, Māori consistently account for 50%+ of the prison population, and the govt boasts of how it's throwing more people in prison.
