Aotearoa Weekly Kōrero 30/09/2026
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?

Just signed a contract today. Software Engineering Manager. My second attempt at the managelment ladder. Last time i did this the company was out of NZ in 18months, kinda hoping lightning doesnt strike twice!
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
Cheers all! Ill post a link to lemmy.nz when pisitions come available
Congrats! I'm in a similar position but not so far as having the contract signed yet.
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)
I mean if it happens twice i gotta start asking "is it me? No its the kids who are wrong" - Principle Skinner.
Could also be correlation... Companies that make poor hiring decisions, or hire too many people, might be more likely to go out of business...
Does anyone have a herald subscription? They fucking paywalled this dumbass article i want to read.
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.
