Tell HN: I am tired of programming, this is what I am doing next
21 points by klaut 3905 days ago
If I write one more line of code I think I'm going to puke.

This may be burn-out or it may be not. The point is, I do not want to do programming anymore. I am sick of it.

I am changing my career path, and I want to do it as quickly as humanly possible... 100 days to STOP being a programmer.

The post definitely does read like a sales copy. Way to go!
That's the finest compliment I could've got. Thank you! :)
Cool. But don't give up a little bit of coding. For example, the email signup link you have - make that a sign-up box.

A lot of marketers would give gold for what you'd consider trivial.

This sounds like the result of tech-nausea training, similar to A Clockwork Orange but for code offenders. I feel sorry for you, but I guess this was meant to be. On a serious note, I could see nausea becoming associated with programming from prolonged use of a computer in an uncomfortable/awkward environment, or even from needing better eyeglasses. Nevertheless, wherever happiness beckons, ye shall be driven.

Why not do both?
