But what does that mean for us right now, as software developers and designers, stuck at home sheltered in place? Right now the prevailing messaging is “Stay Home”. “Every step of the way, to everyone around us, we should be asking the question, what are you building?” Last week, Marc Andreessen wrote “It’s Time to Build” making the call for a great mobilization in our country towards building on the other side of this crisis. This is the only path forward to a hopeful future. While difficult to accept, the truth is that this crisis has happened and it's not going to "just go away". It's ok to be sad and scared - but in order to start the process of recovery, we need to tap into our creativity and use it to start solving the many problems we are now presented with. Many of us are stuck fantasizing about “when things just go back to normal”. The emotions and stress we are all experiencing has made it exceptionally hard to be creative and think about the future. We are dealing with a scary and sad time.
