Finding Programming Work on the Side?
vistaconfig wonders: "I work as a developer for a certain fairly small company. I'm very happy with my work/pay and I wouldn't consider changing my job. However, I find myself bored at night since I never take any work home (as per the boss's orders). Since I'm not capable of working without some kind of motivation, I'm trying to find some kind of a side job that pays whatever money, and has deadlines (that's the only way I can work, unfortunately). There doesn't seem to be a website for side jobs. I'm willing to take something on, but I don't know where to go. How do other Slashdot readers deal with finding the side job in the first place? "
If you're a programmer who doesn't enjoy programming you have no fuckin' right working in this industry. And that's not just some broad theoretical statement. You will be chased out by programmers who do enjoy programming if you havn't already been "promoted" to a managerial role.
How we know is more important than what we know.
