Slightly tangential, but how do you manage to work full time as a developer with a child when you could be working from home or freelancing and spending more time with your daughter?
I don't have any kids, but I have a very hard time imagining myself being away from them for 80% of the day, 5 days out of 7 when I do. I hope that by then, I have enough money saved up so that I can easily take a few years off, or at least have enough professional cred so that I can work on my own terms for the most part.
Every company I've worked for has been pretty hostile toward the idea of working from home full time, though I can grab a day here and there to work from home. If I can find a company willing to let me work remotely full time, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Freelancing is to unpredictable, so I likely won't go that route.
