Working full-time in web development, and a part time farmer after work and weekends. My farmer activity is mainly growing food for the family. Taking care of fruit trees and olives trees. I do my own olive oil. Have a few chickens and pig to have a meat supply. The work never ends that is for sure, but the possibility to drink awesome orange juice for two months at zero cost is just incredible. The down side of it is I cannot eat fruit sold in supermarket, the taste is to different. Farming and development are two things I enjoy a lot, farming at the end of the day is like a decompression from the days work, away from screens, refill vitamin D. Chopping some wood after work with an axe: tremendous to relief stress an keep me fit. Of course my idea is to able to join both activities somehow, maybe trying to have a part time in web Dev, or making a project where both areas are involved. Possibly when I will be tired of working for companies, meetings with managers and bad scrum masters

Ask HN: Does anybody balance farming activity with software development? 4 years ago
This is THE comment. Completely related
This!!Right to the point. The only thing I can add is make use of a habbit track app, as I usually struggle to keep them. Most are simple hobbies I like to do. But one must be carefull not to fill up to much the daily life. A lot of discussion son HN about this.
Just one update: Win automation no longer exists. Microsoft transforms it to Power Automate Desktop. Fairly the same thing with some improvements, but not with the flexible that cames around with uipath.
