Somewhere else you mentioned being a junior dev? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26231702

Covid had, as far as I know of, no impact on dev work. On the contrary.

( I was curious on which sector covid had an impact in this community)

This crosses into personal attack. The site guidelines explicitly ask you not to use HN for cross-examination, and hauling someone's personal details into a different thread is particularly nasty. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and don't do any more of this.

Covid definitely did have an impact on some dev work. I run a consultancy and business development is a lot harder when you can't have face to face meetings with potential clients or prospect for new clients at events.

That scope is a bit broader than i anticipated, since you are talking about new projects and meeting new clients.

Finding new clients is different than before, yeah. But that's "sales" in my opinion, not dev.

A lot of that has been migitated by focusing on e-commerce ( eg. in my side business)

Some of us try to start small businesses on the side, just for fun. I'm retired, but I do. I assume active devs do the same - buying a restaurant or a bar that suffered due to covid can be quite cheap at the moment.

Now that's been said, going through the person posting history with a fine comb like you did strikes me as rude.
