Surprised no one pointed out that it is a screenshot from the movie oblivion. If you have not seen oblivion, go watch it. It has an excellent soundtrack by M83
Anyone in tech confirm?

I was a nix admin. For two decades. Printers are banned in my house. My only IoT device is a Roku stick. I have 6 geese, 4 ducks, 14 chickens, too many cats, one acre, a number of raised beds, fruit trees and grape vines. I’m now a handyman.
I fit the profile.

I think most people feel like Ron at the end of office space.

I’m retiring from an IT position with a public college at the end of the month. I sure AF don’t plan on doing any programming for shits ‘n’ giggles.

A tech job to fund a pivot into ranching sounds like a fun plan
major_briggs@lemmy.world 1 month ago
True for me.

Meh.
If you’re in a toxic workplace, sure. If you’re in a workplace that lets you have fun with your work, learn, discover new things and tinker - the 9000th day is exactly as exciting as the 9th day on the job.

I think it has more to do with maturing with age rather than the tech itself. At least in my case. And I don’t really want a farm. But living in the wild is pretty cool and calming.

Andre Staltz, who developed manyverse, posted recently showing himself working in construction bsky.app/profile/staltz.com/post/3m6qwv56xyc2v
I think he is still coding too, but it is cool to see how people balance it out.

Nah, I just want to retire not live on a farm. The last place I’d ever want to live on this earth is a rural community, I’ve tried. It is terrible.

ngl, i thought about becoming a farmer, but i value living in a society above living on a farm, though both are actually important to me.
the thing is to be a farmer in today’s economy is close to impossible, and also i lack experience and equipment.

Farm? I would take a single acre of overgrown wasteland on a former landfill if it was a legal option to live there.
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Absolutely not. Farming isn’t anywhere as romantic as those city slickers think. I’d certainly like to get off the hamster wheel but shovelling manure isn’t anywhere on the list if things I’d rather do instead.
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
This doesn’t say farming, it says get a farm.
Sure it would suck if you’re farming to sell the goods, but if you just want some land and some animals for yourself, much more manageable.

buy the farm Slang To die, especially suddenly or violently.
Yeah, sure, I guess…

Can confirm.
notsosure@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
No, I really can’t.
Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Neither can I.
If I wanted to live on a farm, I wouldn’t need to move more than a few miles.
But why would I want to change to a career that does not generate income and requires I work every single day all day?
noxypaws@pawb.social 1 month ago
Not far off. I wouldn’t do well with owning and maintaining a farm, but damn do I yearn for a career change often

It amuse me how people in Tech always say funny things about Tech 🤭🤭🤭
PissingIntoTheWind@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s sad how integrated with tech that farming has become.
arendjr@programming.dev 1 month ago
That’s entirely a choice. I am connected to a local vegetable farm run by two farmers who grow everything organically. They run a little circular business as they’re also connected to an educational/kid-friendly animal farm, they sponsor a public fruit path through their own work, and then they partner with local shops as well.
Me and my son go there almost every week to pick fresh veggies, and we just pay directly to the farmers. But yeah, the payment is digital…
PissingIntoTheWind@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The crops or the massive farms around me have so much cool tech out in the field. Love watching the helicopters cropdust the fields in the early morning on the coast. Beautiful stuff.
Ardyssian@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Somewhat - I still have a softspot for my ROG Ally and IPad for reading, but yes I would like to have the option of engaging in tech when I want and not be forced to because of survival
RacerX@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Not a farm, but I’d like to open a coffee shop or bistro type place someday. The kind of place where people in my neighborhood can meet up to chat and grab a really good sandwich, not just stare at their laptops.

Can confirm , bought farm. No sewage , no water. (But fibre internet)
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
I work in tech and long for something like this, sadly I got in very late in life and will never earn enough. I could change companies to max my earnings but honestly where I work now is 33 hours a week and incredibly flexible and manage my neurodivergence very well.
svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
I have worked in tech since 2011 and I’m definitely looking for a way out. Don’t think I’m cut out for farming though.

If I had to start over I’d probably start with a plumbers apprenticeship. I like the work, and there’s something to be said about having “completed” a job at the end of a day that you don’t really get even if you close a feature.
ikidd@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I farm now, but I still run my own infra and build apps. I just do it in the winter when I have nothing else to do.
And I don’t miss the users. One. Single. Bit.
chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Depends on the person and what they’ve dealt with. I’ve worked IT since '99, but I’m not really burnt out. There are definitely things I dislike, but I still enjoy tech, I still enjoy gaming, and I’m still interested in future tech, even if I do agree I don’t like the direction it’s going in.
Part of it is that I seem to have a pretty decent burnout warning sensor, and I just stop whatever no work thing moving me that way for a while. Yes I like games, but I like reading, I like climbing, I like biking, I like photography, I like nature, I like the stars, etc.
Another reason may be that while I dislike the way some tech is going, I have other worries about either nontech stuff or just the main reason tech stuff is going in wrong directions, and those worry me more, so tech can still be an escape from worse worries.
JoeMontayna@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
For me it’s not the direction tech is going but rather why it’s going that way. Tech used to be about innovation and creating cool stuff. Nowadays it’s more about turning a profit. Cloud was not new or innovative, it was just a more profitable way of doing things.

I’ve always wanted to leave tech and become a noat mechanic but yeah same deal

My original plan when going to IT university was to make 1 money-milking website and move to a forest in middle of nowhere…

Same and I graduated high school in the year 2000.
Still working on that.
