Ask HN: Story about an ex-programmer that become a farmer

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).

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?

Thanks!

Ask HN: Which app that shouldn't use Electron.js, yet it is?

Hi guys,

As we all know, Electron.js is a powerful cross platform desktop app framework. Unfortunately, it's quite bloated and heavy on resource which make it not exactly suitable for some app. Thanks to this I've taught myself to use GTK, Qt and QML to build desktop app.

Right now I think I'm quite decent on using QML (as in I could make a simple app and it works properly without crashing). So now I want to challenge myself by porting an Electron app into QML.

With that said, are there any Electron.js app that you know, that really simple and shouldn't be using Electron, yet it is ?

Thanks !
