I'm on my computer, essentially, every waking hour. I've been this way since I was a boy. I have two passions in life: programming and playing the drums. If I'm not drumming, I'm programming and vice versa. This is what I enjoy and thus I contribute to many OSS projects, manage an Apache project, consult to two startups and have a full time job. I do all these things because it's what I'm driven to do. I would go crazy without it. There's no shame in not being like me. Do what you enjoy.

Exactly. Often people try to guilt me into not be behind my computer so much because 'there is so much more'. I know there is much more but I don't enjoy that as much as coding. And that has been the case for the past 32 years. From the moment I wrote my first lines of code behind my father his luggable (1) I knew this was what I wanted to do and I never got bored of it. Do what you enjoy indeed.
