Surprised it wasn’t woodworking
“I no longer build software; I now make furniture out of wood”
nah, brings back memories from the Pragmatic Programmer cover
ooh, has anyone made something that transfers ownership of unmaintained codebases via bug bounty? like a sword-in-the-stone for critical fixes?
Just fork it
I wondered why I was getting notification from that repo after pretty long time. At least 3 people commented after this post
I could be a farmer…
An MMO gold farmer. 😌
The farm
I’m speedrunning this shit.
This is the true story of my life. I’m still working towards that last cell.
Was woodworking another common one?
Reminds of that post a month ago…
Wait is he still on the Azure Performance team?
Azure needs him to care for Microsoft’s Golden Goose at his farm.
Nope. If he hadn’t quit, it would say “present” instead of July 2024
Look under “Principal Software Development Engineer.” It says “2017-present”
That’s the basis for my claim actually. The other position has a date not the word “present”. Which I now realize includes 2023 not this year, so I don’t know what the original question was getting at.
But…it says “august 2017-present” on the screenshot I’m looking at? Right? Also, isn’t July 2024 like, next month?
It says 2023, not 24. Commenter typo’d. and the top number is correct. Bottom one is probably custom filled out, not based on actual work history.
Farming? Really? Man of your talents?
My entire career is based on “yeah but you’re good with computers and programming!” I just wanted to do fine arts and paint for fuck sake. And I could have made a career out of it, as history as since shown! Ah well. Maybe my kids will fare better, we’ll see.
It’s never too late, especially if you can combine the two!
Seriously, some people are that good that you know they could do almost anything very well in a matter of days.
So why not ? I always have a lot of respect for someone that is willing to drastically change their lives in order to improve.
It’s a quote from a Star Wars show.

Ah gee dang, you’re right. Thanks!
Np!
Huh, my first thought was that they went to the farm upstate where everyone’s pets end up.
Its a quote from Rogue One if I’m not mistaken
You don’t need to be skilled in something to get enjoyment out of it
Likewise you don’t necessarily get enjoyment out of something just because you’re skilled in it.
Dirt cleans off a lot easier than blood.
It’s a peaceful life.
Don’t be fooled he’s going out there to hsck tractors now.
Spend years automating small farm tasks that take minutes
Automation at full speed
Man is actually living the dream, the crazy son of a bitch did it.
He has become a battery for AI
Farming is god-awful if your livelihood depends on it. I’d rather be a carpenter or a metalworker once I’m fed up with that computer stuff.
Wielders are paid close to programmers in my country
As I get older, farming seems more enjoyable than dealing with technology. Sometimes it’s nice to just slow down.
The kind of farming that makes any money isn’t slow work.
It is, however, tangible work with tangible results. Unlike spending months changing the polarity of nanoscopic silicon structure for the non-appreciation of an utterly clueless salesperson whose braindead ideas will have left the world in a worse state than you found it despite anyone’s best efforts.
I should seriously get into woodworking. Kidding. Sorta.
remember when you would type a few lines of code and then a widget would appear immediately and you’d feel a tiny spark of emotion?
