I got a tiny rural office building to get away from my homeschoolers several years ago. Coding means holding a ton of fragile context in my head and the little interruptions here and there were truly destructive.

However, I've recently started working from home again and I realized the job is completely different now. LLMs hold the fragile context, I just hold pointers to the architecture in my head. It's 100x easier to drop in and out of flow state.

So I'm thinking about moving the office back home.

The school-age kids get to do their work by daddy while he works.

It certainly eases the weight of my wife, the teacher, who is also exclusively nursing a baby (no bottles for us, that's a different thread). Her job will only get harder in the years to come.

I kind of can't believe I'd move back home.... my precious little space with the bookshelves and desk and vibe. My little work sanctum, my "territory".

Screw it. Give me the messy papers, the school books, the little faces, the break moments to teach basic math and science. I'm running back as fast as I can now that I realize it's possible now.

This homeschool is going to scale so well.

Is this dying to self and living #ToChristAlone in my journey?
