What's your fowl stack?

I would definitely go for Irish sheep farmer. You get to live in a cute little house in a green pasture by the seaside and the sheep feed themselves. What do you need to do? Sheer them every once and a while? I'd take that over Terraform any day of the week.

I actually know someone like this. He's been in software engineering since the early 2000. I recently saw a post from him that he's now a firefighter recruit.

I’ve been in tech since 2005 and I wish I had the means to bail like that. I’ve honestly considered taking a fat pay cut and going back to driving a forklift.

I started in 2006 web design & development, worked till 2019 when my company dissolved, 5 months before the pandemic.

I moved out of the city and I’m fixing rusty old cars for peanuts. It’s nice, but can still be stressful. Just in a totally different way.

I know that feel. Tech jobs are so mentally exhausting that you begin to wish for a job where your brain can finally get some rest :/

I get the thousand yard stare more often as I get older. I learned that it’s my brain forcing itself to take breaks.

I can see how decades of working at Microsoft can turn someone into a goose farmer. I've been using their products for decades and some days I never want to see their products again.
