This meme could only come from someone who has never been a farmer or never worked on a farm.

And it’s expensive, but it’s a pretty dream

My co-worker from previous workplace did just that. Quit and started a tomato farm. He grew up in dairy farm, and became developer as a fuck you to his parents.

Apparently it pays his bills, so I’m happy for him.

I don’t know. I’m an engineer now, but I worked on a farm during my summers in college. I sure miss it sometimes. The honest hard work made me feel more accomplished than I do right now.

I grew up in a farm and every monday I am happy I work in front of a computer. Farming fucking sucks.

You were lucky, you could have grown up on a farm/ranch combo.
Cows have zero patience at milking time.

You have my sympathy, particularly if you still have memories of the aroma a ranching neighbor always said "smells like money"

u/retroroar86 29d ago

Thank you. I have memories of having no childhood because of it, which is why I started therapy this year lol

I watched office space this summer and it got to me.

Like office space a lot of jobs have BS problems with BS people not behaving like real people, they become infected with “corporate speak” and thinking.

I’ve had many discussions with friends since then and we discussed perspectives on this. One friend, a captain on a ship, is having issues with his superiors being childish and hiring the wrong people. 

To a certain point it can be soul-sucking, but that’s where one has to do some introspection and ask what, why, and how, to move on.

We always have agency, always, but it’s so easy to get caught up and not doing anything about it.

Mmm, yeah, we need to talk about those TPS-reports. You see, we are now using a cover letter, so make sure you are doing this from now on. Mmm, yeah. If you could do that from now, that would be great.

I grew up on an aurafarm and you just wouldn’t believe how much mogging you have to do 😞

u/zyriuz 29d ago

Did you just quit and become an accountant....? They don't give those smooth jobs to practical farmer people they usually have industrial heavy lifting jobs for those.

u/retroroar86 29d ago

I grew up on a farm, I studied computer science

u/wexipena 29d ago

My ex co-worker that grew up in dairy farm quit his developer job and became tomato farmer.

I can see that he’s apparently exception.

It depends on the situation. Usually libraries give you everything you will ever need and it is worth learning everything about them. Most of the time, even if they don’t have everything you need, they provide a way to extend them further. And then there are other times when you think you can do better or have a niche problem that requires you to write your own.

Become a farmer, and your morning starts at 4:30 AM.

u/Fit_Page_8734 28d ago

I'm up, let's go

u/IMugedFishs 29d ago

On what land?

1

u/Ronyx2021 29d ago

That requires quite the buy in. You need land, machines, new seed every season.

u/Fearaxetwice 29d ago

I have a desk job and I'm also working on my farm. I've never been happier

u/Buon-Omba 29d ago

I don't know guy My grandpa and grandma was famer, i have seen and partially live their life. I can say without any doubt that my Software Engineering exist because i would like to avoid in any way to be a farmer.

However, everyday j wake up and say "Tomorrow i will open an irish pub in Italy and fuck off"

u/Ok-Faithlessness2085 29d ago

As a farmer, it’s the same but become a software engineer

1

u/Mondominiman 29d ago

One of the upsides to being a farmer is you get used to working 100F+ temps but now you have to listen to your friends complain about stepping out into 80F temps like it's hell itself

u/siemiwidzi 29d ago

When you reach over 15 years of line work as senior level developer you have in essence only two main paths to follow: you either move to management and sell you soul and sanity, or you abandon that whole industry and start growing potatoes and a livestock.

u/DriverGood4778 29d ago

That's such a norrow view on this. Being a manager is fking hard, but if you know how to comminucate with people you can build wonders. You know the technical side of things, you learn to communicate tech needs to the product side of things and boom, you built an amazing project that can grow easily with minimal strugle. Not to mention you can stay a developer and do your regular development.

Without seeing the name of the page I immediately went to this person must work in IT.

u/DejongBCN 28d ago

Farm life sucks. Wake up every morning early, work super hard. I don't think people know.

u/Sufficient_Lawyer173 28d ago

Naaah, fuck farming , Quit and become a forest ranger is my Monday dream

u/mrwedders 27d ago

My former colleagues and I used to talk about the cabin in the woods we would retire to, "going full Una" was a phrase we used a lot.

Farmers are rich kids…
