@KimDotcom Why don’t you move your life to one of these countries Kim? I’m sure NZ can’t possibly live up to it the way you suck up to these guys…

Recently VSCode has cemented itself as the go-to IDE for developers! 👨‍💻

This is for many reasons, but a top reason is its vast market of extensions to help developers become more productive.

🧵 In this thread, we'll look at 13 of our favorite extensions that do just that!

I should say Ardern asked for lower rates generally, not specifically of Kiwibank

[Robin Marshall @robinm]

Why doesn’t @KiwibankNZ introduce lower margins on mortgage rates to show the big 4 Aussie banks the way? Ardern asked for this in 2022 and now it looks like commerce commission is getting involved. Leadership from our NZ bank could shortcut the nonsense

@Mappletons @JoshWComeau Simple PWA for my daughter to make sure she doesn’t miss her bus to school. One icon on her phone that tells her only what she needs to know, plus bonus doge

I’m totally baffled why we support multinationals through film subsidies and give low wage, high emission industries tax breaks, yet happily lose the kind of industry that can drive up productivity. The choice of minister put in charge says it all. 😭 https://t.co/KSEQsuqiUa

@henrycooke So 6% of GDP in return for 50% of emissions. Right. Who do we even vote for to secure our childrens’ future?

@maknz TBF - the NZ policy is actually quite well written https://t.co/REmChLs0jq

[Robin Marshall @robinm]

@maknz Having been through those compliance exercises, the effort is so large that addressing the specific encryption algorithms required, lengthy policy documents needing written and so on - busy-work distracting engineers from actually building a genuinely secure app.

NZ parents, I am looking for children aged between 5-16 to participate in research to help validate the Austin Assessment, an iPad app I developed to detect visual perceptual difficulties/issues with higher visual functions.

This should be be a bigger deal. Health workers I know personally STILL do not have access to PPE as needed. Transparency from MoH and DHBs is needed. TBH this has eroded my trust in a govt I otherwise support. Covid-19: NZNO wants full review of PPE | RNZ https://t.co/EUgHZafjYx
