The COVID-19 outbreak affected not only the health of mankind, but also IT: companies transfer employees to a remote location, a new iPhone is postponed, well-known events are canceled. And it seems that even if tomorrow the number of infected people decreases, some of these consequences may remain with us for a long time.
In Russia, the situation is different from the world one (while in Italy the number of recorded infections is more than ten thousand, we count dozens of people), and Russian IT specialists can only see part of the picture from personal experience. Therefore, we studied a bunch of foreign materials and collected a bit of information in one hubrapost.
