Other careers for a hacker?
jrockway: The syadmin stuff, the HTML, and the PHP/ColdFusion tend to be pretty hard on your hands.  Lots of typing to not say very much.  Maybe you'd like a concise language with a good IDE, like Common Lisp, instead?I find that most annoyance while programming comes from things like switching from the editor to the terminal to the documentation and back to the editor.  As I bring more and more functionality into Emacs, I find myself typing less and thinking more (and generally being less annoyed).  I have never experienced pain while keyboarding, though, and I am flexible enough to elicit grimaces from people watching my normal movements.  YMMV.
