There might be better ways, but I do
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8-

# uncomment one of these before export.
# for hourly version:
# #+EXCLUDE_TAGS: programming
# for programming version
# #+EXCLUDE_TAGS: hourly

* Work experience                                                    :hourly:
** Some hourly job

* Programming languages                                         :programming:

--8<---------------cut here---------------end------------->8-
