Mitchell Baker has a new post that actually explains me quite well:

…Many artists practice their art because the drive is in them and needs to get out. A set of programmers [has] the same internal drive. My husband is one — he will happily spend hours — days if he could — programming on his own, unrelated to any job or money.

I’d get home from a long day of sitting at my computer at work, and the first thing I want to do is fire up my home PC and start coding, developing, designing, etc. And I couldn’t care less if I’m not getting paid for it. Perhaps that’s my Achilles Heel.
