Automation and parenting: data-driven diaper changing and more

We’re covering a few DevOps parallels, data-driven diaper changing, and, apparently, Baby Shark.

Taking care of a newborn is a gargantuan task for everyone involved. We invite one of our technologists to tell us more about how he and his partner are automating the rough manual tasks away to make more time for rest and peace of mind.

Automating chunks of the newborn/baby experience is beyond software. It’s about taking out manual tasks to make more time for important things… like sleep.
