Special: HackerNoon co-founders David & Linh on Parenthood Partnership, Decision Making, and Managing Kids' Screen Time

Building a company as parent entrepreneurs, prioritization in decision making, and the role of technology in parenting. In this special episode of Parents in Tech, I speak with David and Linh Smooke on what it is like to be husband-and-wife entrepreneurs, maintain a routine to balance work and family, and manage their child’s exposure to technology.

 

David and Linh are the Co-Founders of HackerNoon, the leading hacker and developer publication on the internet that features more than 25,000 curious and insightful contributing writers. They are also the parents of a five-year-old daughter, Norah, and a soon-to-be-born son. At the time of our recording, Linh is 33 weeks pregnant and is due in 40 days.

 

In this episode, we take a look into how David and Linh grew HackerNoon into the media powerhouse it is today, while raising their firstborn daughter Norah. The couple moved from San Francisco to Colorado, as Linh took time off to focus on her first pregnancy before joining David to build HackerNoon. With the impending arrival of their son, both of them also share anecdotes of parenting ups and downs. As parents in tech, they also discuss their expectations and worries, as well as tips and tricks they have learned along the way.
