Parenting + Programming
summary
Collates practical, sourced fixes for juggling programming and parenting: prioritize ruthlessly, expect productivity to ebb and open source contributions drop during early years, and use nap-time or paid childcare for emergency focused work. Recommend a dedicated office with a door, clear household boundaries and shared schedules, and co-working to get uninterrupted time. Employers should offer flexible hours/location, built-in learning time, onsite childcare or pumping facilities, and equal parental leave.
