I occassionally re-read similar posts here on HN about 'How did you escape tech?', and while I appreciate them/the effort, I usually find them wanting.<p>They seem to be some version of:<p><pre><code> - i started a farm and now i pick berries all day
- i started making trinkets on etsy
- i used my savings to retire to mexico
- i started a bed and breakfast
- i went back to school for 'x'
</code></pre>
I dunno....all good and fine -- just not for me.
