As someone that spent a decade in the Australian tech industry, and then a decade outside, I can say that Australia is famously a tech backwater.

London might be seen as conservative/cautious compared to SV or Austin or Lisbon, but it's far ahead of Australia where bloated big bang projects are well supported, and lean projects by actual tech companies are ignored.

UK may not be amazing but they do a lot correctly. Lots of systems integrated / running under the same umbrella. In-house infra with in-house ops. You can even browse through an the puppet and deployment scripts on public github.

The problem with Aus is that all the talent leaves and you're left with uneducated bogans like me

Aussie here. Speak for yourself mate. The tech I am working on in Melbourne (Rostering/Pairing) is world class. We are routinely beating international companies 100x our size.
