As someone who works "in tech", really proud of how the tech industry has responded so far
1/ Most important: stuff has just kept working. This is non-trivial given the excess loads. From video to collab to email to this very platform. Lots of folk working around the clock.

2/ every large tech co. doing their own version of efforts to help with CoVID-19 from removing limits, surfacing better information, etc (and I'm sure more to come).
3/ the social platforms been by far the best place to keep up to date on what's happening. Any large CoVID-19 story (lack of testing, what's happening in SK, etc) broke out on Twitter first for example.
4/ Have been ahead of the curve in trying to keep their own employees safe (were the first to start asking people visiting China to quarantine to now asking people to WFH).
5/ Various founders (Gates, Bezos, CZI) all moved quickly on science efforts and delivery of diagnostic kits. Also shows the value of some of the infra that they've built up that let them do this.
Everyone is still heads down and this is probably the beginning of a long, dark stretch but really heartened by how the industry has rapidly come together on this.
