You've shared the real life hack.
My kid was born with a love for the opening theme to "Star Trek: Enterprise", because we were bringe watching it while the kid was in the womb.
Playing "Faith of the Heart" came in handy when the kid started teething.
I like the sound of "EmptyPromisesAboutTheWrongTopicsSocial" or maybe "StatusQuoKeepersSocial".
But when a mid-tier or entry level dev can do 60% of what a senior can do, it’ll be a great way to cut costs.
Same as how an entry level architect can build a building 60% as tall, and that'll last 60% as long, right?
Edit: And an entry level aerospace engineer with AI assistance will build a plane that's 60% as good at not crashing.
I'm not looking forward to the world I believe is coming...
Worth adding - let's all shop from unionized businesses whenever possible. There's strength in solidarity.
I have good news!?
...This isn't a particularly gendered problem.
a) I would not be driving a car with my child in it if I was so tired that I would forget I had a child. The fuck?
I hope you're thankful for a lifestyle where you have that option. We should all strive to build a world where everyone does.
Pen and paper is great for whenever I can't get my hands on a chisel and rock wall.
This is the way.
Well shoot. We were aiming to create an impression of a big group of us - like if there were 40 or more of us.
I'm sorry you went through that. I'm glad you got your trapper keeper, though.
please stop taking absolutely everything as a permanent debate.
But I think there's a case to be made that everything is a permanent debate. Let me just paste a quick wall of text here on the topic...
Sorry. Just trying to make you laugh. I will see myself out.
This is great advice.
I've always done this, and my kids all started talking surprisingly early.
But my motive is just that it calms them.
Some baby fussiness comes from insecurity, and I find that a running narration makes them more relaxed about being set down and returned to - that kind of thing.
Basically they get the same comfort from my narration as I get from leaving the TV running when I'm alone in the house.
I don't know (or worry about) if it really makes any serious long term difference - but it was occasionally convenient as heck when they could tell me what they wanted a bit earlier than I (or anyone) expected them to.
With my last kid, I felt more brave and also mixed in some singing, and think they are more musically inclined because of it.
