Alexander Hoff ❍

quit my CEO job. first kid on the way. building 3+ products from vienna. most exciting time of my life. building all of it in public.

@JoschuaBuilds issues that can be solved with money are not problems. they are inconveniences. buy a new, migrate, sell old.

biggest mistake of my life was getting a MacBook with only 500GB storage I dont even know where to start cleaning...

@noahkagan fair enough ☺️ to be fair, nothing has slapped me more in terms of real life than welcoming my daughter. in a very good way.

@axhoff All of us here are over indexed on productivity and under on real life.

Claude-working. Engagement bait with new 🐥

@noahkagan have done that already today 😁 medium productive but maximum oxytocin.

@axhoff maximize cuddles!~ congrats

@itsolelehmann properly marked and with the possibility to filter would be even better imho some news/info posts can be ai. totally fine.

would pay $500/month to permanently remove all ai comments from my x feed

@TheCoachMak ok 🫡

@axhoff ZERO screen time Cosleep

taking the little squirrel 🐿️ home today. parents: what did you wish someone told you at this point that seems clear in hindsight? bonus: what did you wish you did/did not do at this stage?

@_renatov awesome one! yes we went outside every day so far. has been really good to get the spring sun in the face.

@axhoff The best advice I could give you, is get outside as soon as you can. The fresh air, the sunlight.... it will do wonders for your wife managing post partum. And it will make you feel like you still have a life.

@ItsJamesHall oh no… they sleep less after? 🙃

@axhoff Make the most of them sleeping all the time for the first couple weeks and get prepared for the chaos. Do as much as you can yourself and cherish the moment.

@CedaRita cool. thanks!

@axhoff Do not expect the baby to sleep in a crib or bassinet, baby wants to smell and be on mama, look up safe sleep 7 so everyone gets needed rest!

@bbishdotdev cool tip. lucky to not be using formula though. mommy is a trooper.

Do not heat up formula if you are using formula or supplementing with it. Give it to the baby cold. Literally every parent friend complains about heating it up, the machines, safety of plastic bottles, heated etc. We used glass bottles and always cold. Also as a bonus and your baby is crying because they are hungry you don’t have to wait 7-10 minutes for it to heat up.

@_starbase_ 😘 thanks.

@axhoff Congratulations to you❣️

ok i get it now. all other games are meaningless in comparison.

@thekitze those are some really good ones. thanks! you did not do cosleeping from the start?

@axhoff don't listen to people who are not parents ignore 99% of grandparents advice put boundaries with family members asap cosleeping is perfectly fine (after they can turn on their back and when it's safe) don't bother with sleep training bullshit also congrats!!!

@Mister_D7 @Paul_221144 @DadInvest i am SO curious what kind of person she will become.

@Paul_221144 @axhoff @DadInvest Had our first what seems like a few long months ago. Now she’s almost 2 and I can already see the young adult in her eyes and I’m scared! Make it slow down!

@Paul_221144 @DadInvest yes exactly. i now know what he means.

@axhoff @DadInvest Will add this great clip:

@McNate1973 yes thanks. i have recognised already that giving each other as much rest as possible will be key to manage anything else. nothing to gain if both are simultaneously at their limit. i rather relieve mom the entire day and let her get 3x2h sessions of sleep.

@axhoff Be patient with your partner. The stress of raising a little person can be rough. That with the lack of sleep is tough. Just know you are both being pushed to your limits. You will get all kinds of advice. Do what you think is best. There is no guide to raising perfect kids!

@stedA_on yes. i can see that now.

@axhoff There's nothing like it. You only understand it when you experience it for yourself.

@McNate1973 how does that feel in comparison to having your own kids? i am actually curious because i can see my parents having a very strong reaction as well.

@axhoff I beca.e a Grandad last year. Another level of love unlocked. Incredible

@dudufolio used mailbox for years but honestly they completely fell asleep in terms of development years ago. switched to proton and have never looked back.

You have "eu/acc" in your bio, you must love Europe! Prove it then.
