How do you like the tech scene in there?

I've tried to move to Brisbane around 5 years ago and even had an episode working remotely for a company located in there which wanted to sponsor me, but ultimately the compensation vs COL ratio seemed very bad, even if you compare it to Europe, so I didn't pull the trigger.

At that time there were really only a few interesting jobs in web development (I specialize in Ruby on Rails). Is it better now?

Amazon do stuff here. I think Amazon 'fresh' was coded in Brissie. There's quite a lot of software and network engineering, but nothing like Sydney or Melbourne. CSIRO/Data61 are in town, there's film and animation industries, Web mgt and hosting.

I don't know much about the ruby scene here, sorry.
