OP's posting certainly reads as if he really [!] enjoys programming but doesn't enjoy interviewing or startups. So, if he hasn't left something out, he really should stay in this profession but try to find ways out of the interview process (e.g. long-term employment with one employer or finding jobs through contacts or MAYBE go for contracting as the interview process there is very different etc.).
