If you want to entertain having kids, you need to be ready for a radical shift in your life priorities. Your kids will take priority over just about everything – often even yourself. They’ll take priority over your parents entirely, let alone your personal relationship with them.

First, are the practical and logistical aspects of your life at all dependent on your parents? I.e. are you fully independent? You will need to be and then some, you’re going to entertain having kids.

Once you’re fully independent and additionally have resources to spare (time, effort, money, space, etc, usually b/c you’re with a partner you can trust and rely on), then choosing to have kids means starting your own family – not your parents’ family.

If the grandparents are supportive and helpful, that’s great! They’re extremely welcome to contribute to your kids’ lives (and lighten some of your parenting load!)

However, if they’re negatively impacting you or esp your kids, then they can lose that privilege. Again, your priority will be your kids. If this is a real concern for you, you’ll need to factor it into your “ready to have a kid” considerations.

It’s the difference between knowing you’ll grow and graduate together with your classmates vs knowing you’re only going to see them for that one month before you move away.

In a sense, money represents all the future goods and services it can buy, and those goods and services ultimately resolve down to someone’s time and effort. Money was conceived as a formalization of IOU’s, after all.

So it’s similar to asking whether there’s a limit to how much time and effort from (i.e. influence over) others one would want.

What do you do for a living/what are you into that isn’t super deep in some way? What field did you rabbit hole into in the past that makes you go, “never again”, now?

It’s difficult to consider them pollution even if we were to accept the subjective opinion on displeasing aesthetics.

The pollution we’re all concerned about tends to be:

• Physically harmful
• Difficult to confine/localize/avoid/reverse
• An externality the economy doesn’t sufficiently account for
• A burden that’s unevenly/unfairly distributed across society

Even light pollution, which is arguably barely physically harmful, has all of the remaining qualities (or nearly) for sure.

If these qualities even apply wind generators at all, they do so very weakly. They can be moved/unbuilt, the “free market” is pricing them cheaper by the day, and if you really don’t like looking at them, it’s not impractical to avoid them.

Sounds like an externality that should be paid for as these things are manufactured

For someone learning programming from zero, it was specifically invented to be:

Hedy is the easy way to get started with textual programming languages! Hedy is free to use, open source, and unlike any other textual programming language in three ways.

1. Hedy is multi-lingual, you can use Hedy in your own language
2. Hedy is gradual, so you can learn one concept and its syntax a time
3. Hedy is built for the classroom, allowing teachers to fully customize their student’s experience

Adding to the points above:

At the end of the gradual progression, Hedy becomes vanilla Python.

An aspect of the 3rd point is having an online editor & execution environment, so you don’t need to deal with setup.

After completing the Hedy lessons, can follow up with other learning resources like freecodecamp.org or codeacademy.com.
