A co-worker and I were writing tests for a hook we’d created and we kept running the same warning. So we decided to dig a little deeper and work out what was really going on.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which our offices stand and we pay our respects to elders past and present. We acknowledge the sorrow of the stolen generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
We are inspired by Aboriginal and Torres Strait entrepreneurs, past and present.
