Australia recessions are uncorrelated with US due to mining and other raw materials exports being a huge share of their economy... especially selling those materials to China.

I doubt miners are big Jira users. US tech companies who are cratering right now though...

Ah, thats a big opportunity for some Agile consultants there.

I see if few of those end up mines that would be epic for consultants but just another story for miners.

Sometimes I think software engineers are the only people passive enough to allow ourselves to be managed by agile tyrants.

Most other industries you’d probably have the workers unionize or murder the agile coaches, lol.

Academics have let themselves get managed by a gigantic administrative class, and unlike engineers, they barely even get paid for it.

Yes but with the chance at a job-for-life guarantee and possibly months off per year.

My wife & I have a couple academic friends and they make 1/4 our income probably, but they are unfireable & they also just took off for another 6 weeks stay in southern Europe at a family home this summer .. so there's that.

Guaranteed income & time flexibility are hard to measure in absolute dollars.

My wife & I are on the other hand on our 5th/6th job in our almost 20 year careers, never having had more than 2.5 weeks off consecutively. The hustle now is maximizing the dollars and building some alternative income streams so we can start to wind down the intensity in maybe 10 years and fully exit workforce in 20 years?

They are just bureaucrats. So there’s precedence for both.
