I have the same opinion except it's not that programming is more complicated than before, but that enterprise programming is more complicated than week-end programming. Side-projects are fun because they're free of so much of the bullshit. How much of this bullshit is actually a necessity to build something serious and maintainable is not entirely clear, but it's not 0 nor 100%.
