This all changes when you have a kid. Before I had a kid I was my job and it hurt me when I did have a kid by not prioritizing what was important (my kid - not my JOB). I thought I was important at my place of work but realize nobody cared and I could disappear and things would be fine without me.

The availability expectations gap is interesting from an education standpoint.

For a platform that millions of developers depend on as critical infrastructure during work hours, that math hits very differently than it does for a consumer app.
