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).<p>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?<p>Thanks!
Unrelated (actually related somewhat) but fun to watch:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9ZjqJEC1lo" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9ZjqJEC1lo</a>
Can’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. <a href="https://www.crestify.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.crestify.com</a> the free plan has all the features right now and it’s open source too
Edit: I believe this is the post Death of a Programmer, Life of a Farmer <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9492110" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9492110</a> but the article is a dead link now :/

Not sure as it doesn't exactly match your description, but it's close:<p><i>I Sell Onions on the Internet</i> <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19728132" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19728132</a>
