yeah, same thing here. like, how can I explain my wife that is less technical than me, that “hey, this Proton service is great for privacy and all, but you won’t have Calendar widgets and notifications when I add stuff to our shared calendars”, and she will be like “why?” and I will be doomed. I can accept those things, cause I care more about privacy, but she doesn’t and she prefers functionality over that

This is a decent advice, to take this part of my career easy, focus on what’s more important (the kids), and wait for when they will be able to spend more time together, leaving more for me. Soo, like 3 years from now at least.

Well, given how exhausting fatherhood can be and the stability of my current job, I might just continue learning passively through articles or books. Additionally, I could incorporate the advice from this post and spend some time during work hours researching topics that I’ll need for my project. This approach would allow me to snipe two birds with one stone.

Thanks for the advice here.

We do groceries via delivery, tho for us it’s more of a time saver to spend it with kids, instead of losing that 1-2h to go to the store. So, it’s not changing that much in terms of time for self improvement.

This is a very fair point, similar to what some other members wrote. The only thing I need is to organize my work time a way that will make this possible and still let me perform in a similar pace as I do now.

So, if I understand correctly, it comes down to managing my workload in a way that allows me to allocate some of my work time to learning. This sounds interesting, but I wonder if it’s achievable in my case.

We once had an agreement to allocate 1-2 days per month to learning, but that quickly fell by the wayside due to the constant need to work on something that brings value.

However, if taking a break is not a natural and agreed-upon solution, then managing my time more effectively on my own could potentially make a difference.

and I can really relate to that part of the need to use that one day for some home errands or other stuff. this would also probably come with the payment problem for that day (depends on the job, contract etc). So, as long as it sounds good on paper, it’s not something that can be applied with no limitations or drawbacks.

Could you wrote more about that debugging? I’m curious what you find not easy.

Ah right. that would be definitely great too.

Maybe this could go in steps or simply as some new structure like a map. I would love to see map-like structure in PHP like there is in Go
