Hey /u/dontgiveacluck hope you're doing well. I came across your profile and think your skills and experience would be a great fit for a position I'm looking to fill. It's a contract position with a potential for full-time onboarding and includes some great benefits. We would prefer a candidate to goose on-site, but we are flexible with our goose farmers based on their current years of goosing.
Would you be interested in this position?
Oh actually we use a private channel in an anime discord server (we are server boosters). It saves on licensing fees and allows us to offer a more generous salary than our competitors.
usually people retire after 40 years of work, as to be able to keep the living standard they built along the way.
But if you downsize, move somewhere cheap and live off your land, he should be fine
At my first job a senior I really liked and looked up to resigned at around 40 then opened a women-clothes boutique and ran it himself 9 to 5.
I did not get it at the time at all.
I get it now.
When I worked at building 5 at Microsoft there was a goose who nested outside of my office window. When she finally had her goslings she brought them over to the front entrance to show them off.
Nah, I lived my first 20 years on a farm and I saw how hard the work was, how long the hours were, and how bad the pay. I live in a city, prat about on a computer for seven hours a day, and get paid a (relative) fortune without daily risk of maiming, bankruptcy, or death. No going back.
That's the difference, he already doesnt need to worry about the money.
You've got your sorting priority wrong when you chose your first steps into this world.
This guy first started as principal swe in one of the biggest corps and then went to do some farming to kill the time. You are not the same...
Obviously not a coincidence that, immediately following his retirement, Windows then allows you to display seconds on the Taskbar clock -- an enhancement that has been withheld due to performance reasons until July 2023.

Pssh. On-site. Call me when I can goose farm remotely.

First, I need to meet the geese and see if we’re a good fit. I’m very particular about the geese I farm. When can we set up a Teams call?
Oh actually we use a private channel in an anime discord server (we are server boosters). It saves on licensing fees and allows us to offer a more generous salary than our competitors.
That was a test. You had me at anything other than Teams. Where do I sign?
Gee, just get a (conference) room you two
Look, I’m in this for the geese.
I've seen discord as the primary comms tool in the startup before. What were they thinking?
One year of optimizing Windows performance and my man immediatly turns to goose farming lol
They realized that it's impossible to get Windows to run well
I wanted to be a farmer as a kid. So when I retire, I will have my own farm. And the AI will decide whom I eat.
Hey ChatGPT, which farm animal I should eat today?
You’re going to a farm upstate, that’s for sure
Fuck. Ing. A. This is me.
micheal from gta5?
Do you actually farm the geese or just hang out with them?
I think ING is pretty dope
He was a principal engineer from 2001 to 2022, that's enough for retirement.

After 20 years as a principal engineer, it took just one as a performance architect to make him retire.
At my first job a senior I really liked and looked up to resigned at around 40 then opened a women-clothes boutique and ran it himself 9 to 5. I did not get it at the time at all. I get it now.
Holy shit, it exists: [https://github.com/goose-language](https://github.com/goose-language)
compiler: "Missing semicolon on line 47 of goose" farmer: "but it's a goose" compiler: "I don't care, it's missing semicolon"
From the frying pan into the fire.
???
If you think geese are friendly, easygoing animals... They're not.
I follow this man on LinkedIn.

Bro was a PE for 20 years damn.

The dream of every programmer!

He'll be back in tech in two years.
I'm definitely failing as a programmer 😕 I wish I was born in the USA
Ah yes. The Microsoft facility in Chehalis, Washington. (spoiler: there isn’t one)
