<![CDATA[Hello, World: Refactoring the Dad Life]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/hello-world-refactoring-the-dad-life What happens when a Senior Splunk Engineer tries to apply "Systems Thinking" to a neurodivergent household and a micro-homestead? It usually results in an overflow error.

In this debut episode of Dad Overflow, Sean Glenn takes us into the "Creative Silo" to discuss the messy process of building Version 2.0 of himself. Moving beyond the dashboards and data, Sean explores why technical logic often fails when faced with the emotional reality of parenting three autistic children and managing a homestead of ducks and rabbits. We're debugging the "Actually..." bug and learning why presence matters more than being right.

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.
