I've been working at a consulting company (lone programmer) as a Web Dev for about 2 or 3 months and I'm now skeptical about quitting.

I have the liberty to use any technologies I want, unless we get something already using a certain stack. The atmosphere is great and I only work part-time. The problem is that they have me working like a hog on many different projects simotaneously and expect me to meet deadlines despite new projects coming in weekly. Again, I'm the only programmer here, nobody to help me out. I don't make a killing but the pay isn't too bad considering it's part-time.

I've also noticed that my programming activity has degraded since I started working. I feel like I'm slowly losing the motivation I once had to keep working on my personal side projects.

Any tips on what to do?

    If your customer tells you your code quality needs improvement - act.

    If you tell yourself this & you're behind on shit - take it as a moment of naval gazing.

    If you're not doing it already, I suggest prolific reuse of code. It will cut down on the amount of testing required (coz you'll have tested it 5 projects ago).
