@Wealthsimple @GetKoho have you looked into supporting @Garmin Pay? A guaranteed way to onboard a bunch of new Cash customers. Not many other Canadian providers: garmin.com/en-CA/garminpa….

This is just really disappointing #nzpol. Canada has a bilingualism bonus and I can't see why NZ shouldn't also. Surely money well spent in terms of building understanding & trust. "Govt seeks to halt extra pay for public servants fluent in the language" rnz.co.nz/news/political…

Snowflake consumption trends (mentioned on earnings call): Big headwind - customers changing their data retention policies. ie Instead of storing 5 years of data they store 3 years. This reduces storage costs, but also compute (queries run faster as they run against smaller data

@Luck_eh Looks like a DNS issue on their end. With this app apps.apple.com/ca/app/1-1-1-1… you can proxy via Cloudflare and get back online.

@ow Agreed. Plus the app actually works fairly well (according to app/play store reviews).

@ampnz have found an elegant way of handling the market downturn. Just don't let the customers know!

@GergelyOrosz @hkarthik Diminished rotation in 20. Great resignation 21 left a hole in supply. Tech grew -> demand grew -> more pay. Add inflation -> bigger numbers. Longer accumulated tenure -> tour of duty done. Then Bob bought a house in Idaho and boss telling come to Cupertino on Tue and Thurs

In Q1 2019, 39% of Stripe's hiring was outside Bay Area and Seattle. Last quarter, it was 74%. I think the rate at which tech industry is going global is still under-appreciated, and that this will be a big tailwind for the world over the next decade.

The tech job market has never been more polarized: Demand for senior tech workers has never been higher, compensation is hitting all-time highs, globally. New grad and junior folks have never had such a hard time getting that first job. A thread on what's happening and why:
