edit: latest related post on the front page is about OYO furloughing thousands https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/08/indias-oyo-furloughs-thous...



Oyo is an Indian hotel chain - of course it will suffer.

I get the allure of the sky is falling but aren’t we missing just how privileged we are having an office job that easily can be done remotely?

All software jobs are affected by overall economic activity.

For example, I'm a software dev working in the niche sector of testing and certification of electronic payment systems. If economic activity goes down, then usage of payment systems goes down, so investments in those payment systems will go down, so our revenue will go down.


Wtf are you talking about lol
