Ask HN: Having trouble getting senior applicants, wondering what to do about it

My wife doesn't work. I sleep with our older daughter. My wife and baby co-sleep. Babies sleep much better when they're nursing, but it does mean my wife gets more interrupted sleep, which is made up for by the amount of sleep she gets each night, which is much more than me.

This arrangement works for our marriage. We made a conscious decision early on to not both work.

We did the same. I had to sleep otherwise my job would have been unmanageable. It's one thing to move furniture, or be a manager, and it's completely different to have to actually write complex code and deal with hard engineering problems while sleep deprived.

P.S. My wife is now back on track with her career while being very happy about having spent all those early years with our kids.
