Story about an ex-programmer that become a farmer

Question

If I remember correctly, several years ago I read a story in front page of HN about an ex-programmer who had enough with programming and decide to become a farmer (specifically potato farmer, IIRC).Unfortunately I lost my bookmark, I forget the title and haven't been able to found it again. Does anyone have an idea which article or site is it?Thanks!

Can&rsquo;t help you find the post this time around but to prevent this problem going forward you might find useful a tool I built that lets you search through the full text of every site you visit. https://www.crestify.com the free plan has all the features right now and it&rsquo;s open source too Edit: I believe this is the post Death of a Programmer, Life of a Farmer https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9492110 but the article is a dead link now :/ Archived link: https://web.archive.org/web/20170610002553/http://hello-worl...
