Don't live in NZ, but somewhere similarly distant to the US West Coast. Server management is a pain in the ass -- all I can say is that deploying from colocated (i.e. close to app servers) jumphosts makes life infinitely less painful.

How's the tech scene in NZ? My (academic) wife and I were looking at the map, and we were thinking that maybe NZ wouldn't be a bad place to work for a few years.

Tech scene: great -- plenty of hungry tech companies looking for talent. Xero, PushPay, TradeMe, Orion Health all hiring hard. Catalyst is the Open Source shop of choice. Happy to answer q's if you're curious. ([e-mail] if you need to make 1:1 contact)
