When I read articles like this, I realize just how differently I'm wired than, well, the sort of person who writes articles like this. And I kind of dislike articles like this, because there always seems to be an implicit prescriptiveness underneath them - you can start a company even when you've got no free time, and therefore you should start a company even when you've got no free time.
HN, if you happen to be wired like this person, go right ahead and do what she does - but if you're wired more like me, and the only thing you want to do after your baby's born is look after it and be with your spouse and take in the whole experience, you should go ahead and do that without a second thought.
- manquer 10y agoI think it is more trying to get across that having a family and personal constraints is not necessarily a barrier or an "excuse" to not starting up now. To me it feels like it is aimed more for those who are come up with external reasons to themselves and others why they can't do so now(If only <reason> was solved I would start now.. ) rather than admitting there are more important things to them.
- erikb 10y agoI think that mostly depends on the community you are in. If you want to focus full time on family and baby you can probably find like minded communites as well. But being a YCombinator website HN is inherently about building businesses how to do that from different starting points.
