Tech Talk on ABC Radio

Atlassian is a hugely successful Australian software company that makes tools for software teams. Last week they surprised everyone by announcing the purchase of "The Browser Company" for almost one billion Australian dollars. 

Founders Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar financed the startup of Atlassian with $10,000 of credit card debt. Today, their market capitalisation is $45 billion US dollars. 

Peter Marks is a software developer and technology commentator from Access Informatics, joined Philip Clark on Nightlife to discuss the acquisition and other tech news. Listen here: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/nightlife/tech-talk-with-peter-marks/105755424 

This morning, after the Apple announcements I had several requests for comment including ABC Radio Darwin. My bit starts at 1hour and 6 minutes here. Host Adam Steer is a bit of a skeptic and has nostalgia for his old Nokia tradie's phone.
