I find this take interesting. My wife and I homeschool our children so that we can spend more time with them. No judgement, just and interesting divergence of views.

We are trying homeschool this year, and you definitely don't need to be a "professional educator" - most of them are not anyway. You know your kids best, and can tailor the approach to what works for you and them (if you were to do it).

What happened?

Nothing. It’s presidents week. A useless week off school less than 2 months after new years

This mid-winter break thing is everywhere now. We had in when we lived in NC and it popped up when we moved back to WA

It is a real kick in the nuts early in the career to figure out alternate arrangements but we love it now. I've gotten senior enough to have plenty of PTO and it spreads it the travel opportunities too take kids on vacation. This probably also influenced by WAn summers being the best weather in the country so we don't want to leave for that long. If we were still in NC, we would probably save or pto for summer break.

Yeah technically early career… just gotta put in my time

For startup founders/people with a successful side project: How did you get the idea/inspiration for your business?

I do spend a fair amount of time brainstorming. I don’t want to continue working here forever, but I’m struggling to generate that “this is it” idea to build a company for. Any advice?

Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??
