I would agree that most programmers think of their jobs as just that, a
job. They are not fascinated by the complexities and intricacies of
programming.

You might also want to distinguish between "pay-the-bills" jobs
and whatever else one fancies doing.

As a "wage-slave" the only commodity I can exchange is the use
of my time, which I have decided to "waste" on a mind-numbing
Java day job that brings in a more than decent income, while
spending evenings and week-ends (the time I do not sell) on
personal endehavours, which, quite often, involve CL :-)
