First edit 3 years ago: Away till the New Year. Merry Christmas.
Then next edit 10 month ago replacing that line with: On hiatus.
Then next edit 4 days ago replacing that line with: Have taken up farming.
English is not my native language, and I don’t understand what “Have taken up farming.”, but I have my guesses. means. Normally I don’t interpret such a situation, but it doesn’t look good. Most contributions of the software is 3 years old, and only a few readme and link updates recently are made alongside making everything archived.
Hmm, maybe it really means it literally. I mean it would not surprise me if the person really started or taken over by farming and giving up programming. Be it having too much pressure from all sites, for writing software that many people use. Or be it financial. Who knows. I wish him best luck.
It’s not unheard of in folks who are in software dev because they love the repetition and routine. Farming is pretty similar to programming a computer, just with tons more manual labor.
Hopefully the dev is doing well, and has luck with whatever he’s doing now
Looking at the readme edit history: https://github.com/dylanaraps/dylanaraps/commits/master/

It means they aren’t developing software anymore because they are growing vegetables instead
Stardew update hitting the dev world hard

You are probably right that it isn’t literal. In IT I often hear “Goat farming” as meaning getting out of IT.

So true, I’m still a student, but taking care of my plants daily is relaxing and repetitive, also some problem solving when there are plagues lol
