I think you had better have a day off and perhaps investigate home-brewing.

Seriously, most people have more than one career, I'm on my third. I see no reason why the same should not apply to computer programmers.

Right now, I've slowly begun to realise that I can produce documentation and tutorials that people find useful. This may (or may not) lead to career number four.

I don't think I'm cut out to have a career per se, it's startups or nothing for me: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3283401

Hummm, home brewing then. You career is being an employee of a startup? Do you have any side projects between startups?

What I meant to say is that I want to start my own startup in the not so distant future.

Sure, I run a magazine.
