    Hmm, maybe it really means it literally. I mean it would not surprise me if the person really started or taken over by farming and giving up programming. Be it having too much pressure from all sites, for writing software that many people use. Or be it financial. Who knows. I wish him best luck.

      It’s not unheard of in folks who are in software dev because they love the repetition and routine. Farming is pretty similar to programming a computer, just with tons more manual labor.

        So true, I’m still a student, but taking care of my plants daily is relaxing and repetitive, also some problem solving when there are plagues lol

      You are probably right that it isn’t literal. In IT I often hear “Goat farming” as meaning getting out of IT.
