Tired of these self-fluff pieces getting upvoted. Is this 'popular hacking' or hacker news? On the face of the article: No, I wholeheartedly disagree. Less is not more and don't believe anyone telling you that. This guy is claiming that now that he has less time he is 6X better at his job due to 'unconscious cognition'. I feel for all the parents out there that have kids and still maintain a career, but we need some evidence to go along with the article. Right now, this article looks like appeal to emotion. Everybody likes family and feels good about it. Skill and ability, like everything else, still needs to be measured and tested.

This guy is claiming that now that he has less time he is 6X better at his job due to 'unconscious cognition'. I think becoming a parent, like everything in life, just taught him some lessons: How to manage his time and looking at the big picture often puts things into perspective. Both these things help with efficiency. It's almost identical to what I went (and still going) through with having kids. I got much better at 'mind hacking'. I could be playing with the kids or making dinner or whatever and my mind is hacking away at solution to problems.
