My Dad started programming in the late 1950s and retired in 2000, and in all that time I think he was more in the "work to live" camp rather than spending much of his free time programming side projects like a lot of the folks here, or making programming a big part of his identity (or maybe that wasn't really a thing in ye olden days?).
However he's always been an enthusiast for puzzles, logic, and 'programming-like' systems. I think he is a programmer, and for people like that, I'm not sure they need to run from anything, besides obviously toxic work environments of course.
