BDD: Baby Driven Development
summary
A survey of a few hundred parents finds concrete patterns: surveyed a few hundred parents, 11 mothers versus 48 fathers in a 16,000‑person bootcamp sample, and 60% of women say children hurt careers while fathers report neutral or positive effects. Common problems are pumping (home 22 minutes vs 32–34 minutes pumping at the office), sleep loss and disappearing side projects. Practical fixes tested include expanded parental leave, part‑time return, lactation rooms, remote work, a parenting Slack channel and a parent support community.
