He/Him/His
I'm a Software Engineer and a teacher.
There's no feeling quite like the one you get when you watch someone's eyes light up learning something they didn't know.
While it looks like the industry is slowly starting to wake up to the fact that it's possible to be a good developer at work and a well-rounded person outside of it, it still seems to favor those who can devote time to "coding-as-a-hobby", especially for people just starting out in the industry.
What's interesting is they make it a "young person's" game, but I was about 23 or 24 when I was far less interested in obsessing over developing. It's put me in a no-man's-land where I'm "valuable," because I'm aware of the latest trends, but "inexperienced" because most places I've worked at I was the youngest on the team.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Yeah, it's a tough one.
