I started the company BEFORE my husband was diagnosed with cancer but to be clear I never sacrificed my health or time with my family. My husband is now cured of cancer, my family is thriving, and Winnie is doing great too. That's kind of the point of the post -- you can have it all (mostly).
I didn't code while taking care of my kid. My kid has childcare during the day! People love to assume that women are all just staying home watching their kids all day...
Thank you! That is what I meant. More generally, don't waste your time chatting with people (unless they are your potential customers and you're trying to get to product market fit). Spend your time BUILDING!
