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.

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

With the demise of the Innovation Lab, I am reflecting today how dangerous to society are those people who cling to the status quo as though it is dogma. They talk a big innovation game, but want it on their terms (i.e no actual change).

Parents of teens using discord: have you seen the level of hate and porn our children are exposed to? 1/5
This is an issue that needs more discussion among parents. This is their world I’m glimpsing and it frightens me that it’s normalising offensive content. 4/5

I'm super proud that @Te_Papa has released the Te Au | The Current nature debate public response data openly. The team put a lot of work into designing the data collection so privacy is protected. I hope researchers use the data. #opendata catalogue.data.govt.nz/datas…
