Normally, now in the run-up to Christmas, the stores and stores in the city centers would
again be heavily filled and well attended without a minimum interval. The fact that it's
a bit quieter this year is no big surprise. And also the mouth-nose protection has long
since ceased to be unusual, but has become a must-wear item in the truest sense of the
word. A challenging year is coming to an end. A year characterized by social distancing
and virtual meeting calls. Meetings, exchanges and collaboration with colleagues were
reorganized and work processes were adapted in a way that we had never seen before.
It sounds a bit macabre, but with all the bad things that the virus is ringing us with,
completely new approaches to work, travel and dealing with our social environment are
developing. And one thing this pandemic shows exactly: our digital environment is
becoming and is already more important than ever. We at let's dev were also able to
contribute a small digital part to the prevention of the COVID-19 virus at the beginning
of the year. With our participation in the #WIRVSVIRUS hackathon of the federal
government, we were able to develop our CO Scan app within a weekend. Affected users
have/had the possibility to mark their visited locations they have visited and to
quickly inform contacts in case of a possible infection - and all this completely
anonymously. In the end, a jury decided that software that marks the location of
COVID-19 infected people will unfortunately not be considered further. Nevertheless, it
was a great project and would have liked to develop it further to see the app in daily
use.
Unfortunately, our joint brunch in the office is cancelled this year, but we're still
getting in the mood for a more reflective time with mulled wine and gingerbread. Even if
we do it from home and for once not together at the Christmas party. We would like to
thank all our colleagues for their work, their commitment from home and the projects
that we have been able to develop further or complete successfully despite
limitations!
In this sense, we would like to thank our partners again for your trust, interest and
cooperation during this special time. We look forward to entering into personal dialog
with you again as soon as possible and to driving digitization forward together. Above
all, we wish you and your family good health and a peaceful and reflective Christmas.
And a better, positive year 2021!
Please note our company vacation during and between the holidays: our office will not be
staffed from 21.12.2020 to 01.01.2021 inclusive.
