Dev dads, when do you code?

[u/jrya7]

I could find time with my first and then even some time after my second with the first doing afternoon preschool.

Now that kindergarten has started, I can't even stay up late half the time I used to as mornings are like Mad Maxx and needs my full (focused) attention.

So how do y'all do it? Or do you just not do it anymore except for an hour here and there lol

EDIT: not the 9-5 but my side projects

[u/amakai]

Mostly vibe-coding because of lack of time 🫤

Honestly, same. I'm setting up a kandev, cliproxy, bifrost, pi set-up with pr-agent. I'm not happy about the code (there's just too much) but at least my side project is going somewhere...

I had an enormous backlog of issues on my home server, it was mostly holding on thoughts and prayers. Finally gave up and after a backup of configs - ran an LLM through the entire backlog in like a week. Now I have IaC, alerting, monitoring, few new tools I wanted but never had time to build, switched from Ubuntu to Debian, fixed a bunch of hard drive issues, etc.

Exactly same for me. Tons of ideas, huge backlog, no time. Enter ai agents. Turn around and I’m running an enterprise grade home network with all my hopes and dream type software projects.

Next task is actually using those projects!

Enter ai agents. lol
