Your edit got under my skin way more than your comment did.

Kiss of death seemed melodramatic at best though. Every CEO, CTO, and CFO I've worked with had kids. Guess they were the lucky few who didn't have their professional career ruined by those goblin children?

We’re not impressed by the same caliber of people obviously. Don’t pretend tech is a meritocracy. It’s all nepotism.

I get under everyone’s skin here. Just seeing my username is enough to get ppl riled up in HN

?

That entire first line seems entirely unrelated the the words I typed. Did you respond to the correct person?

Only if you care personally for the kids. Pick up a history book, filled with famous persons who had lot's of kids, but they were raised by family and staff.

You’re proving my point. How about you learn to read? Y’all are just calling me dumb but not backing it up.

It's absolutely harmful to your creative and professional career, which are shallow metrics by which to gauge your success in life.

Maybe to someone who isn’t ambitious or intelligent but personally, I’d rather write a great book or make great software. I believe, like Proust, that art is how you reach immortality.

What’s dumb is to tell people you’re better than Proust because you popped out some brats.
