Are you a professional CI developer or a hobbyist?

    Hi,

    A few years ago I remember checking out some PHP tutorials on the web.  The guy who was writing this stuff was clearly a PHP guru and way out of my league.  However, what was interesting to me is that the guy (recognised as being a world leading PHP developer with tonnes of followers) was not a web developer - but a chef!  He just did PHP for fun (was brilliant at it!) but as far as I can tell his real passion was cooking and he was a full time chef.  Perhaps some of you know the guy I’m talking about.

    So, I was just wondering if you folks are all professional CI developers or if there’s a few people who might be good at CI but do something totally unrelated for a living.

    Thanks.

    Haven’t been a professional coder since 1992, but it’s the thing I love the most.

    So it’s mainly hobby, with some paid gigs on the side for the moment, but I’m in the process of adding a development business unit to my company.
    Challenge still is that our current business generates more money than coding ever will (unless we hit the jackpot with an application)...
