When a Developer Becomes a Woodworker

@solvaholic: Sorry I missed your comment of many months ago. I no longer build software; I now make furniture out of wood. The hours are long, the pay sucks, and there's always the opportunity to remove my finger with a table saw, but nobody asks me if I can add an RSS feed to a DBMS, so there's that :-) @ebd2 to clarify your request and to help future

A GitHub issue comment jokes that the speaker has abandoned software development to make wooden furniture. Although woodworking is exhausting, poorly paid, and dangerous, it has the advantage that nobody asks for software features like adding an RSS feed to a DBMS. The meme is used as a sarcastic reaction to frustrating technical requests or career burnout.
