A lot of good stuff in this thread. The party I'll add and haven't seen yet is that I think being a dad has made me a better people manager at work. I think about humans more than ever and that has helped make me more efficient at work

I knew one lovely guy who was a young dad. He started in the server team and was team leader in 6 months.

Not because he knew about the tech, though he was learning fast, but because he knew how to wrangle and intermediate the man-children.
