I am personally glad that techcrunch chose to highlight the fact that Adam is a single dad. Often in our industry we glorify and highlight the college lifestyle of a bro-grammer. It is refreshing to read the experiences of a developer that has a life outside the domain of software development, and discusses their attempt to be creative, perform, and possibly innovate. This I think is a healthier approach for a population that will ultimately age, marry,
and possibly have children. A population that, as they age, will ultimately struggle to further realize a desire to stay creative, productive, and relative in youth centric world without forgoing a healthy family life-balance.
And here I was, thinking, why bring up the "single dad" thing. Oh! Must be to make the guy seem more in need of funding - if we donate to his kickstarter project, we'll be helping not just him but his child(ren?). I don't like it.
Yeah. I am very wary of anything on Kickstarter, there's nothing to stop them from simply walking with the money or producing a crap game in a day. I prefer to donate my money to reputable charities.
