Hacker news relevant how? Please, if I want to read war news I go to reddit or any other new source.
There are a lot of 'hackers'/programmers & IT-companies outsource departments in Ukraine, so any "full-scale war" on whole territory would cause IT sector worldwide, including many large corporations and open-source projects.
Of course, does 40 million lives in Europe, even single life of Ukrainian HN user matter for non-Ukrainian HN's on Hacker News?...
JFTR, I'm from Ukraine.[0,1]
Of course!
> your views on the threat of invasion, how it impacts you and your business?
I suggest the first thing, "IF" Russian would invade further, would be full disruption of electricity, mobile network and Internet.
As I'm actually freelancer (my Patreon[0]), I highly depend on Internet.
I'm involved in few open-source projects as manual QA, so those projects "may lost my fingers" too.[1]
> Does the article accurately reflect the views of the general population?
Yep. Article accurately reflect the views of the general population.
> Do you have any contingency plans for yourself, your family, and your business in the case of invasion?
To be clear, I and my family would stay and resist — I has no plans to leave Ukraine; I would defend if it would be needed as long, as possible.
In worst scenario, me and my family would move from actual location (central Ukraine) to safer place somewhere to the West of Ukraine (or where it would be safer at the moment).
As for business, all I need is just a laptop, smartphone and Internet.[2]
P.S.: I just hope that world would not ignore Ukraine and in any possible way would help Ukrainian if horrible things would happen.
