Wow, that's quite a career change! Thanks for the insight!

Personally, the one thing that saved me from going crazy during the pandemic were precisely those standup meetings (via Zoom) – otherwise I probably wouldn't have had any human interaction for months. But I suppose it all depends on who your colleagues are.




You don't have family or friends to talk to?


Yes, I do. But I happened to be in a rather lonely place (geographically) right when the pandemic hit. So outside of Zoom and telephone calls with my family and friends every other night, I wouldn't really have talked to anyone, had it not been for work.
