I think that becoming a parent fundamentally changes who you are. It's
the antidote to all the worries and anxiety you had about success and
coping before, but now don't have time to indulge in.
Paradoxically, that releases the door to new kinds of success you
couldn't imagine before.
The parent who can let go of their old self gracefully, and drop many
ambitions (which in retrospect seem childish) is able to transform.
Those who cling to the desire to remain "able to stay up all night
playing with new technologies" will surely find regret and fail to
take advantage of the enormous perspective change that parenthood
bestows.
