Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

      I don’t but have you tried the usual tricks? Arcive the page and try to view the archived version, use a VPN to connect from a different country, look for browser scripts, etc?

      If you link the article I can have a play.

      Congrats! ☺️ Let me know if you are after any full stack engineers in the near future! I’m about 6 years in and looking to take my career to the next step. I specialize in .net and backend data flow

      Congrats! I went off the idea of managing staff quite some years ago. Hopefully you will enjoy it! (and hopefully it won’t lead to the company fleeing the country this time)

          Could also be correlation… Companies that make poor hiring decisions, or hire too many people, might be more likely to go out of business…
