The COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on the work-life balance of web developers, to say nothing of the effect of the pandemic on the demand for developers and other IT professionals. Companies are requiring their employees to work from home, and many workers are struggling to balance the demands of their job with the need to stay isolated and healthy. Those who can work from home are finding that they have to work longer hours to make up for the time they are not able to spend at the office. Others are losing their jobs or having their hours reduced as a result of the pandemic.
