Ask HN: Did your life as a parent affected your life as a developer?
Try to get rid of the commute. That's two wasted hours every day.I have a similar 1hour commute but I only need to be in the office 1 day a week. On the other 4 days I get up at the same time (5:30-6:00am) and I work on my side projects until 8am when I bring my daughter to school and my home-work day starts.
