groktor | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: People who cashed out early and stopped working: What is your life like?

funny reading stories like this as someone who grew up on a farm and knows how much hard work it is, I would drive tractors, feed cows, pull in hay, silage etc on evenings and weekends and even before school when required, from around age 11... I studied maths/sci and went into computing, and am now again coming full circle with vertical farming and controlled environments! Traditional farming is so much better for the planet than intensive farming, however, I believe it takes a certain type of person and mentality to get through it. It really is a lifestyle choice! I have also wondered how much easier farming could be if the farm didn't actually need to generate money to survive...

groktor | 9 years ago | on: LEDs Are Set to Revolutionize Greenhouse Farming (2014)

Greenhouse farming really could be a good way to help tackle the waste/runoff problem. I think Greenhouse farms could easily be closed systems with no need to push polluted water back into the world. The dead zone in the gulf of Mexico (all ocean dead zones actually) HAS to be dealt with pretty damn soon as I understand it...

groktor | 11 years ago | on: Ask HN: How many hours can you productively program a day?

In project planning I would plan for 5 hours per day per developer, even if they were going to be onsite for 8 hours per day. My experience with freelancing/contracting though is that you're generally expected to be onsite or to be available 7.5 or 8 hours per day, even if you're only productive for 4 or 5 of those hours...
