I am dealing with the exact same situation handling a 7 year and a 2 year old. Its actually worse in my case since my wife is a healthcare professional and has to be at her job - so its effectively just me looking after the 2 kids during the day.

I tried working 1 week from 6-12 in the night, but was exhausted since I still had to wake up when kids woke up. This week, I am trying to do 3 hours before they wake up, another hour when the younger one naps and then finally 2 more hours once my wife is back home. Several folks in my reporting chain have similar aged kids or a tad bit older, so they are empathetic to the situation.

My productivity is definitely impacted, but then these are unchartered waters. I am just trying to stay sane through the process :-)

best thing you can do -- buy a town home or home -- try to manage the minimum 10% down payment (if you can manage 20%, thats great) and then rent out the bedrooms to other single folks. I wish i had done that when i was a entry level software engr.

2 awesome things about this release: 1) No need to wrap siblings in an enclosing element - upgrade is worth it just for this change alone (j/k)

2) I'm surprised no one has mentioned it so far -- but this release uses the new fiber architecture - I saw the video presentation about fiber and think it could really help in terms of performance

IIRC Bezos chose seattle not just for available talent but also the fact that there are no income / corporate taxes in the state of WA. I believe this factor will be also significant when they choose the 2nd HQ. Texas / Florida / Nevada are the competitive places that come to mind that have no income tax. Perhaps Austin (availability of talent pool) seems likely ?

Check out the recently launched site Comparably https://comparably.com/

It is so much better than Glassdoor at dissecting salary data.

If you read the story, it mentions digging dirt on Sarah's family. Family includes children.

>> But what is wrong with threatening a woman's children? Clearly you dont have children. If you dont see anything wrong with this notion, having a thoughtful discussion with you is a moot point. Do you work for uber ?

Someone @Lyft PR needs to be on this stat. I've hardly seen Lyft take any advantage of fuckups like these by Uber.
