I think the real point of "what are you going to do for a hobby" isn't the fact that you can get a new hobby. The point is, you like your hobby (you find it relaxing and stimulating at the same time). When you make it a job, it ruins that experience. So back on point, if you're programming as a hobby -- great! But if you're constantly looking at the screen just to get ahead... that can't be healthy.

Right, but if you extend that logic then you're almost forced to do something you don't like professionally.
