stop

I'm starting to think I should quit programming as a career and just do it as a hobby.

I don't like going out to work every day and am wondering what other type of work I could do from home. (It doesn't need to pay as well as programming because I spend very little and have no family to support.)

Any suggestions?

Our startup needs a redesign. It has been put together entirely by programmers and looks like shit. The problem is, we don't intend to hire anyone else and we are concerned that if we get a designer from outside to redesign the site, it could result in destroying our cover.

I know there is a huge potential debate here about whether startups should be in stealth mode at all. All I can say here is that it's not a decision that's under my control, is not going to change, and has no bearing on the fact that I need to redesign the site while maintaining the confidentiality of the idea behind it. So feel free to start another debate on stealth startups if you like but I would still appreciate if someone could try to answer this question I'm dealing with regarding carrying out a stealthy redesign. Thanks.

My last three jobs have been all-male work environments, give or take minor contacts with women from time to time.

But I'm getting tired of it.

Any suggestions on how to find a programming gig where there is at least a possibility of encountering a person of the opposite gender from time to time?
