It depends on your goals.

If you want to stick with startup stuff it seems like other successful young people go heavy into the programming side (the Stripe guy) or the design side (Mike Matas) or the PR side (the Summly guy). I think the main thing is to go more hardcore into one aspect of the business. I have a friend who got into web consulting very young and he's still doing almost the exact same thing now that he's old. You don't "level up" by default.

Personally, if I were to do it over again I'd choose design as you can meet more women that way.
