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've been doing more hobby-type stuff lately after 5 years working as a dev and doing very little coding outside of work. Before now it was always work, even my free time I'm like struggling to get things running or stuck or whatever. Now I know a few languages and I can just make stuff so its a little more fun for me lately
