    Damn. Spot on. Not a farm, but a proper house in a rural area with outside space enough for various crafting projects. And a garden. And a cat.

    Im dead tired of living in a 5x3 firstfloor apartment with a single window and an outside area under tight control by a HOA. Teenage me enjoyed cramped, spartan living arrangements. Now if only I had money enough.

    I’m moving to a few acres this weekend, assuming everything goes well. We got plans for a giant garden, a duck run, and fruit trees. This meme is all truth.

    Being fully remote is a great gig if you can swing it.

    Was about to make this joke myself.

    Honestly the appeal of just running off and living in the middle of nowhere without any responsibilities sounds quite nice. Also getting a fursuit.

    “See yourself in x years?” - Dude I’m jobless since about a year. Jobs in developing countries are non-existent.

    Disclaimer: farming is not a hobby and you need expertise in a broad range of fields, including chemical, technical, administrative. And the job has a high failure rate (if you don’t have the expertise) and death rate (big machines and chemical processes).

      How many fields do you need?

      One for cows, one for sheep, another for corn, …

      Edit: corrected a fat fingered word

        one for machines, a half to handle them without losing an arm, another half to repair what you can, one for pestcontrol/fertilisation, one to handle silage/muck without dying or burning your barn, one not to get a fine for missing a law…

      Part of the senior dream is you have funds to carry you.

      My version of the senior dream is to “phase out” of the industry, taking on more bespoke, white label projects, eventually support and advisory roles, as my real life restarts, away from the computer.

    In reality I see myself in the exact same position I’m currently applying for. To impress you I make something up I think you want to hear, but not too far away from what I’m applying for.

    In the Pulitzer prize-winning book “The Soul of a New Machine”, Tracy Kidder writes about a microcode programmer having to deal with timing in nanoseconds. One day his desk was empty and there was a note on the monitor saying that he was going to live in a commune, and no longer deal with any duration shorter than a season.
