Australia has low self esteem and a 'you'll never make it' attitude which is pervasive. There is little consciousness within employees of the concept of 'equity' which can often be replied with 'I don't work for 'free'' - or even for for 'less'.

It took us 3 months to set our our facility using chargify which was fuct - whatever. But now it works and it is awesome.

I moved to the bay area from Australia for the knowledge hub and to find hackers who are also environmentalists (who seem to be as rare as hens teeth). The amount I have learned technically in a short period of time has been profound.

I can never go back to Australia. It feels like a ball chain has been removed now I am in an environment that cultivates, even reveres nerdy freaks and dreamers.
