Actually, no. I think that's almost the definition of a passionate programmer: there's very little that cna stop them from programming outside of work - not even a full time programming day job.
Supposing for the sake of argument that you were actually passionate about more than one thing in the world, can you imagine why someone might want to spend six or eight hours doing some of the others after spending eight or ten hours doing one?
Yep. I am. And I program, but rarely outside of work. I leave work at 5 and, when the schedule permits, I start coding again after they go to bed. This is likely to happen 2 or 3 times a month. So far I've read nothing in this thread that doesn't make the assumption of no other demands on one's time. Maybe I'd get the job if I just said, "I wish"?
