Ask HN: Is demand for software engineers rising during Covid-19

• muzani 6y ago
  In my area, yes. The offline to online flow increased greatly: e-commerce, digital marketing. E-wallets were once dumb ideas, but with contactless, they're suddenly a great idea. Lots of bureaucracy moved from paper to digital forms, and are taking the next step of integrating into a database and analyzing the data. Anything to do with remote work increased greatly, and that's all software engineering too. Plus things like games, online writing. I have a little site for writers and we've had increased traffic lately without any extra marketing. On the other hand, a lot of businesses shut down or are slowing down, mainly the oil industry.
