Yes my personal work is different from the professional with my day job being back-end PHP, but my programming interests being JavaScript - particularly canvas and also some audio API.
I most definitely enjoy the variety. If I was just doing PHP at the weekends it would probably feel like I was working 7 days a week and not be that motivated to actually program in my spare time.
Occasionally what I learn when playing with JS comes in handy for my professional job; Just last week an issue with Jpeg images and Exif rotation information I had encountered before when playing with HTML canvas popped up in a site for a client where some images uploaded to the site had weird rotation. While none of the other devs could figure out what was going on I was quickly able to identify the problem and find some PHP code check for Exif data and correct the image rotation.
Do you also find things you have learned in personal work transfer to your professional work?
