i'm quitting software

moving to the village, living the simple life

that’s it. i’m out. leaving software for good.

gonna work with my grandfather from now on. figs, olives, actual physical work. i live in aydın, this stuff is everywhere here. been around it my whole life, just never thought i’d actually do it full time.

why

last week spent eight hours fixing something that worked locally but broke everywhere else. turned out to be some hidden setting i didn’t know existed.

eight hours for nothing, really.

if this is what i will do for the rest of my life, i don’t want to.

the plan

my grandfather has been doing this for years. fig trees, olive trees, vegetables. well, now i’m not just gonna visit, i’m gonna help him, this is what i want to do.

deleting github tomorrow. uninstalling vscode. giving away my mac. send me an email if you want it.

this is not a pipe

the treachery of images by rené magritte (1929)

magritte was right. this is not a pipe, it’s just a painting of a pipe. he showed us that images can be tricky, and so can words. this post was just a joke, i just wanted to make you think for a second. happy april fools :)


ps: let’s watch f for fake by orson welles. perfect for today. i’m going to watch it now. you should too.
