Earlier quoted context omitted.

It’s kinda scary people with the ability to react and reduce suffering whilst also benefiting in kind are willing to exploit a global emergency and use that suffering to justify coming out a little ahead.

I see your point, but let's not attack each other like this here, especially not right now with stress and fear running so high. Better to treat this as an opportunity for an uptick in how well we treat each other. " Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. " https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

How is the post an attack?

He claimed his emotion (fear) towards a behavior that has been demonstrated by many in this chaotic environment.

I interpreted his post as an observation and experience rather than an attack.

At the beginning of the year, I decided it was time to find a new job after 10 years with my employer. I spent February doing interview prep and conducting interviews. Back then, the COVID-19 was mostly limited to China, markets and governments weren't terribly concerned about COVID-19. I accept a job offer, put in my two weeks notice, and my last day at was last Friday. Hardly anyone was seriously concerned about CO…

I am in a similar boat. Resigned just before this hit. I am still working out my notice at my current job and my new employer assures me everything is fine, but I still feel like I picked the craziest possible time to finally move after eight years at one company! Oh well, fingers crossed for both of us.

We’re hiring at Tellus App, Inc. Currently, we’re prioritizing those who are looking for non-remote jobs (people who can relocate or already in the Bay Area), but we are also open to hiring fully-remote. We’re growing quickly and aren’t looking to slow down the hiring pace.

We’re an ambitious Silicon Valley FinTech startup founded by serial entrepreneurs in 2016 to become the most innovative real estate investing platform for all. This unique sector is riddled with extreme fragmentation and plagued by uninspired product offerings — yet at the same time, real estate contributes up to 18% of the U.S. GDP. We’re a team of seasoned operators and developers with a home base in Silicon Valley who love to move fast and want to do something no one has figured out.

We have several developer roles open which you can check out here: https://angel.co/company/tellusapp

If you’re interested in joining our team and for the right opportunity to dive into the FinTech space, we’d love to hear from you! Email us at recruiting@tellusapp.com.

I'm a contract full-stack web developer. I've been "laid off" in that my last remaining client, who was already behind on her bills, told me to stop all work and she has no idea if/when she'll be able to pay her outstanding bills. I have no idea where next month's rent is going to come from. If anybody needs some contract web dev done, check out my info at https://albright.pro/ and reach out ASAP. I will cut you one…

brilliant decision choosing to live paycheck to paycheck..
