Some are, definitely.

Coding is quite an interesting job today. You can go from a low-skilled manual labor technician to a highly-educated intelectual work like an "architect", sometimes as a career, sometimes in a single project.

It might be more artistic and expressive like exoteric languages and troll projects, also very disciplined and carefully implemented (my impression) like security (maybe not so much coding).

Few careers people use the same thing they do in their jobs as a hobby. Not sure if it's good or bad.
