I find my job as a software engineer and programming for fun to be extremely different, to the point where my job hasn't damaged my passion for fun programming on whatever I want. It's like if you had a passion for painting and got a job that consisted of 50% deciding what solid colour to paint walls and 50% painting walls solid colours. This varies a lot. I could imagine a game dev whose hobby resembles their passion a lot more.
