Explained to my 9 yo how programming works:
1. You have something you want to do.
2. You write code to do it.
3. The code doesn't work.
4. You fix the mistakes.
5. When the program works, you realize your idea was wrong.
6. You fix the idea.
7. Goto 2.

If having kids is stunting your career or forcing you into 5 hours of sleep, work is doing you wrong.
The world is full of companies that are supportive of parents and families. Where working 40h or less isn’t a liability or a failure. twitter.com/ericbahn/statu…
