I went from a Full Stack Software Engineer -> Lead -> Eng Man -> Burnout -> Wild Mushroom Exporter in Zambia.

Currently trying to become a wild beekeeper dropping hives anywhere anyone will let me while coding on side projects at the same time.

I recommend beekeeping. Go on a course somewhere, learn a little, get a hive, make mistakes, learn, scale, profit.

What, was goat farming too pedestrian for you??

(Just a little joke, based the meme of developers quitting their jobs to start a goat farm.)

Also, I'm allergic to bees.

Curious! What do the hives you drop look like?

I'm assuming no-touch hives are designed differently than honey-extractive hives.
