The vast majority of my 40+ friends see #dayjob as just another piece in the puzzle of life. It's still recommended to enjoy it within reason...

I'm not sure you've followed OP. It could well be the case that his workplace and school activities are communicated via WA. His "playing dumb" results in him cut-off from valuable information he actually needs.

Isn't it a tiny bit optimistic to assume this "will be over" by end of April?

If you read this forum carefully you'll find it indeed contains constructors, truck drivers, firefighters, pilots, physicians, teachers... just to name a few from memory. All these "non-developers" are priceless when discussi

python distribution is so annoying I always wrap it in docker and call it the day. I can never trust pip for on-premise installations of python code. Even the npm toolchain madness is somewhat more consolidated and organized.

You don't need an article to estimate the direction from which The sun will rise tomorrow. Zoom is better than the alternatives on most verticals and has good PR. In fact, justified privacy concerns aside, it's hands down the best

Cloud provider is not a grocery store? You can't just wake up and randomly raise prices of services. Also lots of .gov runs on azure.

This law is a tech-support nightmare. You can call your ISP with any arbitrary piece of non-branded random AliExpress $#@$ of a network eq. and they must walk you through configuring it? That does not make much sense to me.

It is not possible to give "actual attention to students over video". There really is no such thing. Remote teaching does not, can not, and should not work for young kids. It's not a university. (source: life)
