This is the true story of my life. I'm still working towards that last cell.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Reminds of that post a month ago...

Wait is he still on the Azure Performance team?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

Azure needs him to care for Microsoft's Golden Goose at his farm.

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

Man is actually living the dream, the crazy son of a bitch did it.

ooh, has anyone made something that transfers ownership of unmaintained codebases via bug bounty? like a sword-in-the-stone for critical fixes?

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 2 points 5 months ago

Just fork it

Farming? Really? Man of your talents?

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.

It's a peaceful life.

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.

Huh, my first thought was that they went to the farm upstate where everyone's pets end up.

As I get older, farming seems more enjoyable than dealing with technology. Sometimes it's nice to just slow down.

[–] azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] match@pawb.social 1 points 5 months ago

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?

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Surprised it wasn't woodworking

Don’t be fooled he’s going out there to hsck tractors now.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

Spend years automating small farm tasks that take minutes
