For sure, and it’s definitely something I never would have planned or expected for myself. It was also partly influenced by COVID, and further compounded by pretty rough break up.
But the funny thing is, I really feel more comfortable and confident than when I was “succeeding”. I used to feel so guilty about a one line code fix taking weeks to deploy, or I used to feel so guilty and terrible for not paying attention during scrum and refinement and all those meetings. I always felt like I was working too hard and not hard enough.
Farming has this reputation of just interminable toil and physical labor, combined with high costs for agro chemicals. But then you read about farmers like Gabe Brown or Chris Trump, idk.
It only takes three nonlinearities to create chaotic, non predictable behavior.
- montoro 6y agoI never had anything to do with farming but I can imagine its appeal. Living from the fat of the land and not caring about planning and preplanning and retrospectives and all that. Best of luck! Will look up Gabe Brown & Chris Trump. About the three nonlinearities, I'm afraid I'm missing some context - never read up about chaos theory...
- quickthrower2 6y agoIf nothing else I can imagine the hard work, hours and constant threat of bankruptcy of farming would make me very happy to get back behind that keyboard again!
- theonething 6y ago> I always felt like I was working too hard and not hard enough. Wow, you've succinctly described how I feel about my dev career spot on.
- non-entity 6y agoNot sure if its the exact same sentiment, but I've started to describe my work as "hard in all the wrong ways".
