Stories, software, and a life lived across several worlds
In 2017 my family and I acquired a piece of land of 45 hectars in size. At the time of purchase there was an old abandoned farmhouse, some infrastructure and the place has been used to keep some cattle and iberian pigs.

In September 2018 we had made a number of modifications, including building a new house to be able to live on the land instead of visiting now and then:

In 2018 the old structures are still untouched. Our goal is to live at the place as soon as possible in order to avoid a daily commute of 100 km roundtrip.
The category FARM-LIFE groups random articles about the progress of our work. We use a special website bosque.caimito.net to document our agricultural experiments. Over there we also have a number of internal tools for the administration of the farm that are accessible for members of our farm crew.

About me
Hello! My name is Stephan Schwab.
I build and rescue software, and I write fiction about the human side of how it gets made. Here you’ll find my stories and novelas, notes on craft, and field notes from a life lived across several worlds.
Working with software teams is what I do professionally — see how on caimito.net. You can also read about my experience since 1986.
