Happy Mother’s Day to my cofounder @jess_eggert - the hardest working mom I know. Well second after my kids’ mom. 😉 #workingparents #startups

My son says his favorite song is Dokken’s “Dream Warriors.” I must be doing something right as a dad, yes? #workingparents

Norman Rockwell this ain’t. Simple celebration with immediate family. #Thanksgiving #family

Today I sent out employee offer letters. For a company that I built. That’s strengthening the #childcare industry, helping women & PoC business owners, helping #workingparents access care, & making money while we do it.

My team? All women & PoC. 90% parents.

We’re doing this.

Nice post from @tamccann on the value of side projects. #startuplife #lifelonglearning #workingparents

Using side projects to have fun, build skills, develop relationships, and maybe your next company… https://t.co/GQhA2mUlzf

When I’m hiring someone, I’m looking for someone who will contribute over a period of years. If they don’t enjoy learning, they won’t gain the hard skills in anything yet to be created. #startups #workingparents #lifelonglearning #careeradvice https://t.co/BlEQwZMZeI

@illepic I see it as completing the work needed for a sprint. Not so much competing requirements but more time balance. I get leverage from my team (as opposed to doing it all myself) so I need to prioritize getting the task finished by my review

Interesting application. Do you see this as a productive tool or a gimick? #LifelongLearning #softwaredeveloper #workingparents

This is mind blowing.

With GPT-3, I built a layout generator where you just describe any layout you want, and it generates the JSX code for you.
