There is beauty in simplicity and simple stressfree living. Most of those who attend are not coming from agriculture or agriculture background, most are engineers(who have a love of nature or desire for healthy food) - However, your being an engineer(like myself) put you in a very advantageous position. You may not realize that for now. In fact, your background will expedite your learning curve. Just like setting up an electronic circuit board, first your goal, then you have to understand the functions of the components, basics - such as resistors, transistors, diodes, capacitors, and how each component operate. You know what you want to achieve and you are going to assemble it together. In this case, it is a lot easier(but also has it's frustrations and trials)
The thing is unlike hi-tech, the technology here is low-tech and and can be acheived using "backyard components". I shied away from hi-tech because of the fast pace development many of which you cannot control. Everytime Microsoft, Apple etc., changes, you have to change, they dictate the direction. In this case, no one dictates except you once you have the building blocks. You are in control of the environment and what you want to achieve. You know what the parameters you want to control and how you want it. You can innovate. You "ENGINEER" your "PROCESS and SYSTEMS" and work with mother nature and father time.
For programmers/IT - you are able to develop your own language and program it to function that way you desire because there is so much to explore and discover and only your imagination is the limit. You are not dependent on the programs made by others and keep on updating yourself of the changes they have made. You program your life and not others to dictate what is good and not good for your system. You are empowered and in control of your processes. You can develop your own IP(intellectual property)
