Just FYI if you are a software engineer, it is likely you have short term disability insurance at your job, in which case you can take paid family medical leave and be covered for your full salary and not just the cap that the state will cover - you will need to get a medical attestation from your doctor that the leave is necessary, but such things are covered under the FMLA
