I have nine children, homeschool them and they start programming around twelve depending on interest. I got fired because a new president wanted to hire his old it guy so my wife started a company. That was ten years ago. Lunch and dinner involve a lot of shop talk because when people get stuck it helps to discuss. We all have different strengths so we get requests for a 'consult' when we take a break too. We work in the livving room so phone calls can sometimes be funny. Kids being kids and getting shushed. We have all local clients at the moment and we find visiting them helps to stir up work so we get out a bit. |

That is awesome!
Have you written more about your experience somewhere online? I would love to strive for something similar when my kids are a little older (my oldest is currently 7) and I personally know several others who have similar hopes. Just seeing a real implementation of this oft-discussed prospect is very exciting! It's difficult to express the admiration I have for this.
Raising a large family is no small undertaking, to say nothing of mentoring a guild of devs. Major heartfelt congratulations to you, your wife, and your family of code wizards.
