That’s quite the generalisation. I don’t know many parents in tech, but the ones that I know spend a lot of time with their kids.

I devote a large amount of time to my daughter. The other parents who are in tech are quite similar.

Perhaps I live in a bubble here in Norway.

There’s a reasonable amount of evidence that fathers still don’t do their share of parenting in general:

Though I’d be interested in more stats on this.

I’ve known enough HN’ers and tech fathers in real life who talk a lot but don’t look after their kids to have become cynical myself.

Ahh yes. I agree. Men don’t do their share of parenting as a whole. I thought you were saying this is specific to tech, of which I’d disagree. It’s more wide spread than that.

Yes, my phrasing was not ideal. I don’t know if it’s particular bad in tech. But it is a general problem I’ve seen (and also noticed in tech).
