    Farming is only fun if you already have enough money that you don’t actually have to farm if you didn’t want to.

    Otherwise it’s hard work for low pay that is very hard to buy yourself into if you weren’t born with some land.

    I have been existing in a superposition of both of these states for a few years and really like it.

    During the day I’m a senior engineer on embedded c/c++ stuff. During free time at home I dig in the dirt and build shit and do my “farm chores” like tending to my koi pond. Feels good man.

    I think most people would agree that fresh air, exercise, hobbies, and personal goals are good for your body and mind. It’s still wild when I notice it actually working.
