            That’s the basis for my claim actually. The other position has a date not the word “present”. Which I now realize includes 2023 not this year, so I don’t know what the original question was getting at.

          But…it says “august 2017-present” on the screenshot I’m looking at? Right? Also, isn’t July 2024 like, next month?

            It says 2023, not 24. Commenter typo’d. and the top number is correct. Bottom one is probably custom filled out, not based on actual work history.

      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.

      My entire career is based on “yeah but you’re good with computers and programming!” I just wanted to do fine arts and paint for fuck sake. And I could have made a career out of it, as history as since shown! Ah well. Maybe my kids will fare better, we’ll see.

      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.

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

      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.

        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?

    One of my colleague is leader of the team managing our internal software systems, but also a potato farmer. Somehow.

    I feel this in my soul. If I were independently wealthy or had a sizeable amount of passive income, I probably would give up the corporate life and just do something like farming.

    But in reality, most of the farmers in my area either have to make do with very little or they end up having to work a full time job to supplement the farm income, build a retirement fund, and to have decent health insurance. Kind of takes the joy out of it if I know I’m either going to have to compromise further on healthcare & retirement, or if I’m going to have to continue working another job either way.

    I wondered why I was getting notification from that repo after pretty long time. At least 3 people commented after this post
