How Does Joel Beukelman Say Fatherhood Changed His Privacy?

Joel Beukelman, a senior interaction designer on Google Chrome and a father of three, tells Anthony Armendariz that becoming a parent resets privacy. He says getting to use the bathroom without a child knocking is a rare good day, and that people without kids should not be expected to understand that trade. His wife runs a business with about six contractors, and he says she carries most of the school runs and coverage, with help from family and friends. He contrasts the chaos at home with how manageable Google felt after years inside a startup.
