Hello, World: Refactoring the Dad Life
Season 1
The "Moth" Incident: When Over-Engineering Fails
by Sean Glenn
In the quiet before the house wakes up, Sean Glenn (Senior Splunk Engineer and micro-homesteader) breaks down a 3:00 AM system failure. From a $300 "predator alert" triggered by a single moth to the recurring "Actually..." bug in his marriage, this episode explores the limits of logic in a neurodivergent household. We're looking at why "Version 2.0" of ourselves requires better empathy, not just better scripts. What You’ll Learn: The Raccoon Standoff: Why over-engineering a chicken coop is often a displacement bug for parenting stress. The "Actually" Counter: Identifying the moment your logic becomes a defensive "ampersand" that breaks connections. The F-Chord of Parenting: Why some things—like raising kids or learning guitar—don't have a life hack. System Maintenance: Why efficiency is not an emotion and how to "patch" your communication style.
