Putting myself through an imaginary Wordpress/full stack development bootcamp, starting with #100DaysOfCode, #learninginpublic and looking for community.
Yeah, I was thinking that while my BA is helpful enough, what has really made me better at this stuff is being a parent. When I used to play around with coding I would give up easily. Now I'm able to accomplish a lot more because I am ok with things being hard and uncomfortable and I understand what being committed to something involves. If only that kind of background were actually seen as a plus on a resume...
One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.

Fully agree with you, parenting should be seen as a plus on a dev resume.
Actually, if you or someone else feel like it, I would love to read such an article:
How parenting makes me a better programmer
That actually crossed my mind when I made the first comment, I can write one!
Please do!
