>I now understand why there’s a trend of developers who want to go live in a farm or take up woodworking

I own a farm and a carpentry business, both since the start of covid. And I do freelance development. I have no plans to return to corporate coding. Life is great, never been happier or more fulfilled. But that is just me, your mileage may vary. Also it is a lot of hard physical work, at least during building and growing season. The grass is always greener. I code in the winter.
