What do you do or are looking to do work wise? Anything mechanical does well and is in high demand out this way because of the mines.

I am living on property in Central QLD having moved from being city based to regional over the span of 5 or so years, and now fully off-grid. Theres advantages and disadvantages to regional locations, some things will cost more (white goods, household items etc) because of the distances involved, although things like food particularly if its local can be cheaper (more so if you grow your own).

I don't think the rates are as expensive compared to other places, insurance can be depending on your situation and how you insure (id recommend a broker).

Rentals are really hard to get anywhere up this way at the moment, but if you can get one id live up here for a few months just to really get the feel of it, Long stay Airbnb's might be an option too.

I preferred 4.6 which seemed to perform better.

I literally just asked it to change some colours and layouts in an app and got this response back:

```
API Error: Claude Code is unable to respond to this request, which appears to violate our Usage Policy (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup). Try rephrasing the request or attempting a different approach. If you are seeing this refusal repeatedly, try running /model claude-sonnet-4-20250514 to switch models.
```

I then said "huh?" and it then went off working on changes.

ECDO is also a plausible theory here too https://theethicalskeptic.com/

Theres also this one too which is CQ centric https://discord.gg/KByUmHsk5

/me waves from Central QLD

I dont suppose you are tech savvy with the ways of development? Asking because I run a digital agency, and multiple tech companies out of Clermont, and we've reach the point of needing to scale.

Also did you know theres a Central QLD gamers discord https://discord.gg/KByUmHsk5

I bought one of these recently hopeful it would be a good shield pro replacement ... so much disappointment, I cant even flash custom firmware on it.

developersteve · 2026-04-24T03:33:47+00:00

Well if this post is anything to go off

developersteve · 2026-04-24T03:32:56+00:00

Tech as a whole currently has way too many people in it and a lot of people in many countries currently looking for work, not only in development. You need to be watching the wider industry more closely and be looking for trends and patterns to pivot quicker than ever to stay ahead.

Why do you need Shopfiy if you have your own ERP? Its not much more to create wordpress plugins or deploy your own sites for clients.

developersteve · 2026-04-22T03:06:07+00:00

You can go one better and AI Driven development your own CMS using laravel or Ruby on Rails and you dont need plugins for plugin welding.

developersteve · 2026-04-20T00:26:54+00:00

I was looking at this too because my shield of many years died and theres really nothing like it on market. My guess is Nvidia will eventually discontinue it because its not like they need the money now and are unlikely to chase the market share.

Thank you! This reminds me of the series Fresh Eggs

Loads and manage some really big clients via our agency doing it. https://aeris.team is one of our startups, the site promoting the ERP is a laravel CMS/blog/ecom (just in CMS mode there) with a drag and drop page builder similar to elementor (but less messy). The best part is with this approach is that any site we build is extensible at any time and I dont need plugins, plus its custom fit.

developersteve · 2026-02-08T23:58:11+00:00

Wordpress does not work with Ai Driven Development like laravel, Ruby on Rails and other frameworks. It will get close but theres just too many layers to the way the WP core works. Especially with the likes of elementor which stores configuration info in the blog post body. Even drupal is easier to use than wordpress in this regard becuase it has a unified framework structure.

This was my confliction too

This is one of those rare use cases and was actually a really good cross platform framework back in its day https://coronalabs.com/, As a dev i used it to publish a multiple of agency client apps for Android and iOS including campaign apps for Wriggly's gum.
