a brief pondering

We’re all obviously in serious situation.  I hope this message finds you
all ok.  Health workers are on the front line of all of this.  We in
Switzerland took a minute out of our days yesterday to applaud them.
 And we’ll do so again and again, as well as those who can't work from home.

In the midst of all of this, I want to point out that the work of the IT
industry over the last fifty years has led to our ability to physically
distance from one another while still being able to see, hear, and
interact with our friends and loved ones.  This organization has had a
lot to do with that, building a stack that, while certainly not perfect,
seems to be up to the task in this crisis. I’m quite grateful to this
group (amongst others) that we have the technology to know how my loved
ones are, and today, my wife and daughter get to go to a virtual baby
shower.  Pretty cool.
