In many Australian workplaces, humour is the heartbeat of culture. We trade barbs, invent nicknames, and dish out sarcasm like it’s a national sport. A well-timed joke can ease tension, build connection, and even become a hallmark of great team culture. But even in the most easygoing environments, there’s a fine line between funny and…

If you’re a frequent reader, you may have noticed a lull in my regular 3-a-week programming lately. It wasn’t unplanned, it was necessary. When the pace of work is relentless, it’s easy to get caught in the cycle of doing everything and end up sacrificing either the quality of your outputs or the integrity of…

Success can feel like a race—one where we’re all sprinting toward goals, chasing recognition, promotions, and personal milestones. But somewhere along the journey, many of us learn a powerful truth: the more you help others succeed, the more successful you become. This isn’t just about karma or feel-good philosophy.

Fake it ‘til you make it.” But here’s the truth most motivational posters don’t say out loud: Real self-confidence doesn’t come from standing in front of a mirror repeating affirmations. It comes from giving the world irrefutable proof that you are…

The lines between AI automation and low-code workflows are officially blurring. As Microsoft brings autonomous agents into the mainstream through Copilot Studio, many of us are asking: “What’s the difference between Agent Flows and Power Automate Flows — and when should I use which?” Great question. The short version? They serve different purposes — but…

You don’t see the world as it is. You see it as you are. Ever noticed how once you learn a new word, suddenly you hear it everywhere? Or once you start thinking about buying a red car, red cars seem to be on every street? That’s not magic. It’s not coincidence. It’s your brain…
