I enjoyed doing side projects, but being able to is a privilege. Like having parents who let you live there without paying rent or food. Or having the endurance to continue doing programming stuff after 8h of work.
When I work for 8h a day, Iam not able to continue programming anymore.
You are mentioning passionate. People would still see me as passionate (learning how to act in certain ways is a very valuable skill)
The last time I was passionate about programming or my job as programmer was at least one year ago. Actually Iam not even sure about this, it could already be years. And actually I dont even talk about being passionate, but only about enjoying it.(can you even be passionate without enjoying it? what is more important?)
Let me repeat this, I dont enjoy my work as a programmer.
You could ask a lot of people about me, and a lot of them would clearly describe me as a senior dev. (besides real senior skills have not so much to do with programming skills, but thats another story)
Why do I still work as a programmer you may ask.
Because my work is ok enough to earn money with it and fulfill peoples needs.
Also its all Iam able to. I dont have a real choice, there is nothing else I could switch to without failing massively.
Next time you think about people being passionate or enjoying what they do, think about the one who is fulfilling your fast food order, or who delivers your Amazon package.
