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

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
