You don't just take a punt on a childcare provider like you might with temporary accommodation on AirBnB.
From personal experience and those of other parents I know, it's a heavily researched, quite intensive process involving multiple visits to different providers.
An AirBnB for long-term childcare seems like a non-starter, perhaps beyond initial discovery and shallow research.

Also, there are so many societal benefits to affordable child care for all. For example, more primary care givers returning to work, earning and therefore paying taxes etc.

Your site mentions "examples below" but I don't see any. Do you have any example newsletters that are browsable?

Congratulations!
If you're able to, take your partner away _before_ the baby arrives. They deserve it for growing a human and you both deserve some quality time together before everything changes :)
Other than that, it's amazing (and challenging). Be patient and kind to each other (and it goes without saying, to your baby).

Maybe it’s just what you know but every time I’ve used Garmin Connect it’s felt like a dumpster fire compared to Strava.
Even for route planning (years ago) which I would not say Strava is fantastic at, it still seemed worse.
YMMV

Lovely. My 2yo child really enjoys correctly identifying the Bar-tailed godwit (along with all the other birds) in this wonderfully illustrated book: https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/what-its-like-to-be-a-bird-978...
So, this title made me smile and think of him :)

This is potentially quite interesting to me we are having conversations on/off at work about data reporting, visualising etc., which is leading me to pay attention to related topics.
However, it's lacking in any context explaining what you're trying to achieve and why.
It's probably obvious to some people but for me, it's not, which I think is a shame.

As someone new to people management, actually, prior to people management but with an interest in the topic, I found it very interesting and useful.
I was not even sure what "IC" meant or what an "engineering manager" might do.
Personally, I found there was lots of actionable advice and a clear "path" for how one might operate in different roles in an organisation.
Almost any non-fiction book could be described as a series of blog posts or articles, so I don't really understand that criticism.
YMMV but I would recommend it.

> Because you often need REALLY skilled developers (top 1%) to make the early tech for what you need to build when you're doing a successful startup.
Rubbish. You need an idea and to start validating it, learning and iterating, with feedback from your customers.

Cooking. I can’t imagine how much less enjoyable (or more expensive) life would be without cooking skills.
