This. I tend to match the reported issues with a product across bad reviews to see if they are just glitches or something particular about it.
When a product has way too many good reviews I usually try to see if similar products show the same reviews. It's outrageous how much copy paste is used.
Oh my god, I want this product(original) but it is not available on amazon.de! It would be amazing to get your products in Germany. I just ordered it on amazon.co.uk as shipping was less expensive than getting it on www.elevationlab.com.

I got two kids: 4 and 1. The little one is a horrible sleeper right now. Me and my wife work roughly 30h a week each. 50/50 taking care of the kids. Kids are in daycare for roughly 7 hours. We commute 2h a day if not doing home office.
I just stopped bothering what to learn or accumulate green boxes. The only time github graph looked like a jungle was when I was hired to work on a sponsored open source project.
I tend to read on the train ride if not completely wasted. Coding is kind of not fun while commuting. Topics differ however.
In the evenings I just do whatever I like to do after chores. Sometimes it's coding, sometimes just playing games, mostly screwing around the internets or reading non profession books.
Demand for computer science is not (yet) declining, quite the contrary. So my need for learning does not come from competition.
The most quality time to learn something new is an hour here an hour there at work. I try to be efficient to generate the desired output so I can get a bit of slack to get my head into something new coding wise. Call me unethical, but it seems to work out for me and clients. There is only one life to live.
