    I absolutely agree that many people should not have kids, and nobody should feel pressured to do so, and everybody should think twice before they do if it really is what they want and they are ready for that.

    But as “general advice”? Sorry, but this is ridiculous.

    Saying this as a fucking exhausted parent of a baby. It is hard, but absolutely no regrets here.

    Of course if you value your own free time and activities above everything else, then yes, definitely please do not have kids. There will be no time for anything but baby care and the bare minimum household maintenance for a long time.

    Congratulations!

    I also created a little AUR package or two or manually fixed some broken PKGBUILDs sporadically, and yeah it’s something you can figure out in a day when you have a little bit of understanding of the command line overall.

    Arch AUR is really a nice sweet spot between power and convenience.

    My boss at work is using Gentoo. I guess that’s why he’s my boss. No, but seriously, the Gentoo build system sounds much more complex. Yes, you can control compilation flags and tweak every package up to absurd details, but I’m willing to sacrifice the few percent of performance.

    Whereas, AUR is simple enough to be used by ADHD folks like us :D If it’s more work than a weekend project, I don’t care about it. I know I will most likely give up on it if I don’t need it to survive.
