> From my experience though WFH just doesn’t work. People aren’t as invested in the company and they produce worse results.
What a terrible take. I've been remote for 7 consecutive years at a couple of companies and I was always invested in their produce. You know why? Cause they gave me RSUs so I actually cared about the value of the stock. Nothing to do with being remote or not.
I never hire any former Amazon or Facebook. I've worked with some when I was an IC, I even hired a few before I knew better. Never had a positive experience.
Even for not so small kids. With my 7 and 9 yo we do one ~30/40min session during the weekend, and a family movie on the 1st weekend of the month. No TV or screen time outside of these.
I can't imagine having a 3yo watching TV 1 hour a day, especially the movies shown on this video.
That being said, to focus on the technical project, that's very cool!
We only do TV on the weekends (Miss Rachel mostly, sometimes a movie), but 1 hour a day seems like nothing considering they're in daycare learning and playing for 8+ hours among the many other things they're doing throughout the day. For me the issue is when it becomes a dependency for them.
You're talking about how it was to be in tech as opposed to using the tech - what the parent meant I think.
From the consumer's point of view, the parent is completely right. In the 90s/early 00s there was a real feeling that tech was trying to improve your life and make it easier without necessarily controlling every aspects of it.
I graduated high school in 2002 and started college to get a degree in computer science and engineering. Everybody thought I was an idiot. Everybody except my parents who were very supportive luckily.

You guys need to clarify if it's truly remote or not.
