> If you are interested in the craft, it's hard to imagine the interest ends when you cross the threshold of the workplace on your way home. It's not that I'm not interested in programming but there are a lot of things that I'm FAR more interested in. My personal example: I love working out, I love computer games, I love snowboarding, I love geocaching and I adore playing with my car. It's extremely rare that I ever choose to dedicate my free time to developing software when I have something to do related to one of those things. I'm an experienced professional and consider myself to be pretty decent at it but when it comes to fun things I can do on my own time, it ranks abysmally low. The result? Total amount of software development that I've done outside work hours in the past year: 0 and I can't imagine it ever changing. edit: in fact the quickest way to make me stop reading a job ad is to write too much of those "we expect you to breathe xxx technology". No thanks, I will breathe it for exactly the 37 hours I'm paid for and not a single one more. Fortunately enterprise development is a nice fit for me :)
