| If COVID-19 causes a recession, will it be harder to get a job in tech? |

@engineheat: I'm in the same situation, I work in a manufacturing plant and there isn't really a lot of work I can do from home. We have a similar culture that also frowns on working from home. I can't work on anything live because of safety rules etc so for now it looks as if I will have to go into work until the plant gets shut down. If you get a new job and quit then I'm sure any future employers will understand your situation. |

Probably depends on the tech... My company (Citrix) is buried in work (because everyone uses our technologies to work from home; nursing stations; etc). Only reason why we can't hire right now is there is literally no time to conduct interviews/nobody free enough to do it and it takes about 3-6 months to train someone new even if they are highly skilled. This is one time that I am not in fear of losing my job AT ALL.... |

If working from home becomes the norm, I wonder if it would push investment in hardware encoded remote desktop. One of the biggest problems with most remote desktop solutions I have used is slow response. The only exception to that is Dell's iDRAC, which is hardware encoded. |

That's kind of surprising actually, as fast as modern CPUs are inassuned the lag of remote desktop was simply the amount of data that needs to be sent. It's very rare that I use remote desktop anymore though, if I need to remote into a system I just use a terminal. Anything that I can't do from the command line I do on my local system then upload the result. |
| David Hess:
Assuming a good remote desktop implementation, performance is dominated by latency and bandwidth unless video is being played on the remote system. |
