@lejeunesimon @Wealthsimple @Garmin @lejeunesimon nice! Does it work with both the cash and credit cards?

[Nick Wareing @nwareing]

@lejeunesimon @Wealthsimple Please do, it would appeal to a good chunk of your demographic and be yet another differentiator from the big 5

@Luck_eh Looks like a DNS issue on their end. With this app https://t.co/foXfRqyvgR you can proxy via Cloudflare and get back online.

@Luck_eh Even their website seems to be down

[Nick Wareing @nwareing]

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

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.
