I guess it is my fault by failing to mention that I don't just sit home and do nothing. The problem is that even after doing my "normal life" stuff, I still have time to spare.
and I'm sure I'll be busy with kids and all that stuff when the time comes. But I don't have that now. And like I explained before, I still do a lot of stuff that people would consider "fun".
What I don't understand is that people fail to see that I LIKE programming. I don't look for a side job because I'm addicted to work and I need to fill all my free time with work-related activities. I'm looking for it because I'm addicted to and passionate about programming and can't feed that hobby by myself.
I certainly didn't expect this reaction.
I do have a "life". I live with a woman. I go out, frequently. I read. I travel. I watch movies almost on a daily basis. What the hell else can I do to have "a life". My "problem" comes down to the fact that I work true 40 hours weeks. I also work from home very frequently, thus taking away the waste of time that is traveling to/from work. I think I'm lucky in that regards compared to other people in my position. I don't work overtime, my projects (at least for now) are managed to the point where I know I will meet my deadlines.
Also, call it what you are, but I guess "geek" would be a word that describes me fairly well. I simply like to program. The unfortunate truth is that I can't do it "for myself". I find myself bored with every project I start on my own.

How the fuck did you get a reference to microsoft from this article???? There's shitload of programs out there (yes, including your beloved open source) that are ridiculously fucked up to use. I fucking hate microsoft, but I hate overzealous OSS fuckheads even more. This is the single most important reason why I don't use open source (well, that's a lie - I use it extensively, but still, I hate these overzealous OSS freaks).
