Yep I was particularly interested in long breaks for the kids and how you handle that, but I see you're able to work around it.

Thanks for the feedback on picking my tech, I guess you're right but thats what happens when you work in project environments. I'll put forward my primary skills as my value prop.

Thanks for responding

Re:Ask HN: Advice for dealing with a difficult co-worker on Saturday July 12, 2014 @02:27AM (#8023867)
back your self up with well written code, committed into a VCS with proper comments. For each one that is rewritten mark those commits somewhere in a list of notes. Discuss each one with him if his check in comment is not clear as to why. When he's right, leave it, when he's being a jerk note it. If all else fails you have documented your reasons. Then go and find a new gig cuz you've done all you can.

Just carry on learning it. Then when you get more experience in other languages you'll understand its short comings. But youll appreciate it for what it is.

Re:Ask HN: Engineers with family, how do you manage it? on Sunday March 02, 2014 @04:09AM (#7328390)
Its tough man. When we had our child, tech took a back seat. I worked as I needed to, sometimes a little late but I made family come first. Your wife will need you, family first. As your little one gets older you'll get back to normal, but for now focus where you know you need to focus.

Congrats!
