Q: James: What are three differences in terms of tech culture in Oz from Ph?

A: Just my opinion... The main difference is because of the work culture. Since work-life balance is a big thing, people spend more time away from tech and into their families, and going out... Though the good side here is people can spend their free time on the tech they want.

I haven't been into the local startup scene here in Melbourne, but I think there's less motivation to do startups since people earn enough. It also hurts that salaries are higher – good for employees, but hard for startups. So it's also far from “Silicon Valley” here.

But even if there are less startups – maybQe even less startups than the Philippines – there is more tech stuff going on in non-startups. For example, I'm working in enterprise software – for a bank – and their front-end tech is using modern tech stacks.

Question by @nico_darambong: why prefer to be the early bird type of hacker as most are nocturnals?

Starting up early gives you a long day. Let’s say 5am to 10pm. Practically equivalent of 2 work shifts :p

Morning (or fresh from sleep) actually is the most effective way to think for me. Basically, I spend my first hour going through what I need to do today (randomly, while Facebook-ing). Simplest to say, mornings are my peace time and I pseudo-meditate by doing nothing.

Additionally, I have sites running globally and processing transactions so I check them if they are still up and our contact emails if there are any critical issues.
