Building things on your own time for fun is completely different than building things while being beholden to a manager, having to attend daily scrums, having to take direction from Product people, UI designers, UX experts, filling out Jira tickets, arguing with your coworkers about what a variable should be called, what an endpoint route should be, being asked to point your work, logging your time, thinking about how things will be compatible with the other systems, getting two PR reviews and approval from architecture, being asked to attend the town hall, being questioned about why you used an abstract class instead of an interface. The list goes on and on. It's like night and day.
