Do you still code as a hobby, or is it only a job now? (self.cs_career_questions)

I have 7 years of experience, at this point software development is mostly a job. I have hobbies that have nothing to do with it.

I'm curious to see if this is the general trends, or if people are still fidgeting with side projects even after years in the industry.

I consider myself more a scripter than a coder. My bar for what I consider coding always gets higher than what im doing. That being said I don't really do much for fun. both at home and at work I tend to use what is by and large the most immediate way to get something to do what I want or what someone else wants.
