Do you have two or more kids? I say it’s different. For people with more kids, a single child seems like a walk in the park. Because in the worst case at least one parent is "free". With two or more kids the default is being fully occupied or if one partner takes all of them for the other to have free time, it’s insanely draining and the other partner feels almost pressure to make the sacrifice worth it.

This of course being said about the situation without any parents around. The step from two to three is worse for car/transportation and hotel room but I think it’s not nearly as hard as from one to two.

What you also have to consider: You’re gonna have bad nights. With one kid only, it’s fine. You can recover. With two, you simple don’t have room for that. The bad nights will eat you up.

Several people at work, none use OpenClaw, had their limits jump immediately to 100%.

This is a reason to seriously consider changing providers.

Finally someone that says it. I think it’s a multi-variable problem as it handles languages differently. Also working in legacy code can be worse more often than not.

Also european here. I would assume that it's not slander if it is a direct reply.

Im working on some website and created some custom menu. Nothing fancy. AI got it done after some tries and I was happy as web development is not my area of expertise. After some time I realized the menu results to scrolling when it shouldn’t and wanted to make the parent container expand. This was impossible as the AI did a rather unusual implementation even for such a limited use case. Best part: my task now is impossible to solve with AI as it doesn’t really get its own code. I resulted to actually just looking into CSS and the docs and realized there is a MUCH simpler way to solve all of my issues.

Turns out sometimes the next guy who has to do maintenance is oneself.

The last point assumes that there is such a thing as sufficient abundance. I wish there was. My experience with human nature tells me there might not be, though.

I find this disrespectful by the author. I’m sure I’ve had colleagues at work that did this to me: throwing ai generated code at the reviewers with the mindset like "why should I look at it? That's what the reviewer does anyway".

You’re not alone! Also, I think that we just get older and learn slower. This, in combination with the lack of free time, makes me just worse at grinding leetcode. Also I’m just frustrated sometimes. I’m not dumb and a good worker, but other people that simply have a lot of free time get rewarded.

Im very interested in that topic and haven’t made up my mind about what really counts in parenting. You have sources for the claim about well-being (asking explicitly about mental well-being and not just material well-being) being more influenced by socioeconomic status and not so much by parental absence?

About the guy: I think if it’s just a one time thing it’s ok but the way he presents himself gives reason for doubt

I agree. This seems very unintuitive and would be a code smell in a review.

For some I feel sorry. For others I don’t. The lower ranks shouldn’t complain as much as it feels like…in the end they just act like their superiors: They bite their tongue because of money. CEOs do it. I’m sure some align with the current administration‘s values, but not all. They do it cus they are afraid of fighting and losing profit. So are the software engineers. How many people do I know that cannot imagine life with a salary lower than 200k?

I agree with you. Haven’t had very bad experience with service. I for example am perfectly ok with flagging down a waiter to order extra drinks. The US make me feel uncomfortable with their almost obnoxious wait staff asking you 100 times if everything is ok…but hell breaks loose if you’re done with your meal and you just wanna sit with your buddies and have one more drink or finish your beer. Then wait staff manages to make you feel very uncomfortable in my opinion. Much worse than default German service.

The Germans have a word for it: fremdschämen

Personal anecdote: A relative of mine has his own business that covers all sorts of IT stuff. He has a starlink running permanently as a backup because a couple of times a year his fiber experiences some downtime.

I think people start thinking he’s not just a jerk but his ulterior motives are nothing but despicable. And some people who think he really is a racist from Apartheid Sourh Africa cannot understand how still a big part of technologists are overlooking that fact. I think people are just disappointed in others for sticking with him.
