    English is not my native language, and I don’t understand what “Have taken up farming.”

    It means they aren’t developing software anymore because they are growing vegetables instead

      Hmm, maybe it really means it literally. I mean it would not surprise me if the person really started or taken over by farming and giving up programming. Be it having too much pressure from all sites, for writing software that many people use. Or be it financial. Who knows. I wish him best luck.

        You are probably right that it isn’t literal. In IT I often hear “Goat farming” as meaning getting out of IT.
