I porque no los dos’d it and have a small farm and a remote software developer job. Farming (at least for now) won’t pay the bills and certainly won’t provide for me in retirement so keeping the main job is required. I also like software development, though, so even if farming were ever enough, I’d still work on various projects on rainy days and in winter. No animals yet because we want to travel first and there’s basically zero chance of getting a farm sitter where I live.
