If anything, remote can strengthen US's monopoly on global talent in the short-term.

The friction for US companies to attract global talent is now even lower. Now you don't even need to apply for an H1B visa to be physically in the US to work for a US company.

However, since the talent is not physically based in the US, this can be a great thing for countries everywhere in the long-run. GDPs are created remotely for countries around the world, and the knowledge these global talent gain by working with US companies will be dispersed around the world.

Hundreds of ecosystems will bloom around the world, leveling the playing field.

This is a great thing.

Given that the entire world won't be having offline events for a while, we've created a directory of all the virtual developer conferences, dev meetups, and hackathons that are accessible anywhere.

Learning and growing outside of work shouldn't stop while we're all working from home. And especially at this moment of social distancing, online events can keep us socially engaged and less isolated while working from home.

Please help us spread the word and add any virtual developer events to the directory!

Question: for companies that actually acted decisively and cut their workforce significantly in 2008, did any of them end up having a great outcome?

Any examples come to mind?

To be honest this did give our team a good comical relief in a somewhat stressful time .. :)

Thank you!

We later realized that although they've gotten a good amount of upvotes & comments, actually many of them came from possible fake accounts / bots ... (fake photos, no past PH/twitter activities, etc)

While I'm amused, some of my colleagues were quite offended by this.

Our product manager, who wrote the original copy on Arc, had this comment upon seeing this:

"They actually copied our entire developer application form, I realized that because I was thinking, man they really wrote these like how I would talk in real life, it’s because I came up with all the wording and they just copied them verbatim…….well, they swapped out “cup of joe” for “cup of coffee”. This is highly upsetting"
