Hacker News Reader

My kid recently turned one. I can't read this article without weeping. Everyday when I back home, I regret not spending more time with my family. I love coding, by all means. But this article is a huge wake up call on where I want to strike the balance.

Thanks for the article

I could read things like that when I had no kids.

I can't imagine. I don't have kids and the horror and grief is tangible.

I can feel the panic that the author describes as he runs out of the office. I can feel it in my chest. Before kids this would have been a story to read. With them, reading this is me falling apart at my desk.

Yep. That horrible feeling from this story stuck with me for DAYS.

me too.
