Honestly, it seems like a great time to reconsider our impact on the planet: All the things the naysayers claimed were impossible and could never be stopped or changed have been shut down in the span of less than a month.

- iso1631 7y agoPerhaps in software, it's not clear what productivity impact there is. However many people are furloughed and laid off. Sales aren't being made, which means money isn't coming in. To pretend that the current situation is "not so hard" betrays your privilege.
- ehnto 7y agoThere are many jobs outside of software that have had resistance to working from home for really no good reason. I was really just trying to balance my comment anyway, working from home was the first example that came to mind. My main point that there will be consequences to shutting many things down, even if it seems like it was quite easy.
