A platform built by and for stay-at-home dad developers who refuse to choose between being great parents and great developers.
We believe that being a stay-at-home dad and being a passionate developer aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, they make each other stronger.
Your 15-minute coding window is as valuable as someone else's 8-hour day.
Managing interruptions makes us better at problem-solving.
We lift each other up because we understand the struggle.
One well-crafted solution beats ten half-finished tutorials.
Like you, I'm a developer who chose to be the primary caregiver for my kids. I've coded through teething phases, debugged during Bluey marathons, and explained APIs while making mac and cheese.
After years of feeling isolated from the broader developer community—where "work-life balance" usually means having a life outside of work, not having work fit around life—I realized we needed our own space.
SAHD.dev exists because our challenges are unique, our time is precious, and our perspective is valuable. We're not trying to fit into existing developer communities; we're building our own.

One amazing human who thinks I "play with computers"
Unhealthy but necessary
Every piece of content respects your limited time. Clear reading estimates, resumable tutorials, and quick wins that fit into naptime windows.
We understand that your "office" might be the kitchen table, your meetings happen during Sesame Street, and your deployment window is after bedtime.
No pretending that work and life are separate. We celebrate the beautiful chaos of being developer parents and learn from each other's experiences.
