I would have thought this was an asshole comment before I had kids.

Young ones take SO much time. I don’t regret kids at all but I regret not doing even more with my time previously!

Unfortunately my time prior to kids was spent becoming a mediocre developer and not becoming Bellard.

Choosing not to have kids is just a choice; it definitely doesn’t make you an asshole.

No no you misunderstand

I would have thought it was an asshole comment for implying that having kids makes you less productive. But having kids DOES make you less productive (at least when they are young) or at the very least removes great swaths of time that you would have had available otherwise, if you involve yourself with their lives at all.

Having kids or not is intensely personal and everyone has to make that decision themselves, not having them is extremely valid
