I own a farm and a carpentry business, both since the start of covid. And I do freelance development. I have no plans to return to corporate coding. Life is great, never been happier or more fulfilled. But that is just me, your mileage may vary. Also it is a lot of hard physical work, at least during building and growing season. The grass is always greener. I code in the winter.

- dsauerbrun 4y agoyou're like a bingo card rolled up into a single person. I recently used my circular saw, multi tool, and drill for my first real project(mounting a hangboard on my ceiling joists) and it was immensely satisfying... I see the allure but I'm definitely wearing gloves next time. my hands are all cut up from driving the screws
- baremetal 4y agoI try to set my life up so that every day is an adventure :) Glad you enjoyed yourself. And yes safety is paramount. Gloves and glasses are a staple for me, and hearing protection. I know a guy that lost the tip of his thumb. And not from a saw accident either. He got a splinter and it became infected. He tarried going to the doctor and ended up needing to have the tip amputated.
