Full stack web developer currently working mostly with #PHP / #Laravel, Vanilla #Javascript and #SCSS. Love learning more about (almost) anything, but particularly #MySQL and #InfoSec. Currently learning Arabic. Husband, father of two boys, Christian.
But like so many parents & work from home spouses.... I'm apparently irreplaceable & I have MORE work & responsibilities today than on an average day. 😭
Oh the luxury to be able to "call in sick" and go back to bed. What does that even feel like??
@syntaxseed the worst part of being a parent: there is just no time off. No sick leave, no annual leave, and most especially no paternity/maternity leave 😁
And when I complain to my parents about it, they tell me that you don’t even get to retire…
So this was today, and turns out it was great fun.
I ended up speaking for about 20 mins, with a good 20 minutes of Q&A after.
The kids seemed to enjoy it (as did I), and asked lots of intelligent questions (and some silly ones, as you'd expect from 10-12 year olds 😁).
The teachers gave me a lot of very good feedback, too, and asked if they could invite me again next time.
The one thing that really impressed me though, was the behaviour of the kids! They were absolutely amazingly well behaved. I don't think we ever had such discipline when I was in school.
