So you write programming languages as an aside from your job of negotiating deliveries of livestock feed? Or are you maybe actually getting paid for your programming language work in the form of useful contacts, better reputation, better experience, and so on which increase your salary? I'd place money on the later -- so you don't do it for free, you just don't do it for direct money. I doubt you would write programming languages nearly as intensely if you were the aforementioned negotiator. The reward would be less and you would instead be going for drinks with clients and otherwise networking, it is a hobby people like that also ends up in professional payout...
