Presumably he means safe with respect to task consolidation, as per the topic of discussion. Which I would agree is more or less true, but only because farming already went through its consolidation phase. Hence the old saying that goes something like: "A farmer has to be a mechanic, an engineer, a scientist, a veterinarian, a business manager, and an optimist—all in a single day."
As a farmer, if you think programming, CI/CD pipeline management, and database administration being consolidated into one job is a line too far... Brace yourself!
It's capital intensive, high risk, hard work with low margins. Not at all like stardew.
