David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH)

That the love you develop to an infant...

It happens quite quickly.

Not necessarily immediately.

I don't know.

Different people have different experiences.

But it took me a little bit.

But then once it hit, it just hit like the kick of a horse.

And I love that it's also just such a universal experience.

That you can be the most successful person in the world.

You can be the poorest person in the world.

You can be somewhere in the middle.

And we share this experience that being a parent for most of them turns out to be the most important thing in their life.

You should listen to The School of Life.

He has this great bit on YouTube.

You'll marry the wrong person.

If you accept upfront that you will marry the wrong person, that every potential person you can marry is going to be the wrong person in some dimension.

They're going to annoy you.

They're going to be...

not what you hoped in certain dimensions.

The romantic ideal that everything is just perfect all the time is not very conducive to the reality of hitching up and making babies.
