I'm glad you have enjoyed it as a career. I never even tried -- I have a dumb rule that I won't do anything I truly love for work. I guess because I don't want others ruining it. lol

It's a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, I have much less time and patience for personal software projects. I prefer to do carpentry or sports as a change of pace. On the bright side though, the experience I've gained from working professionally makes the projects I do tackle go much more smoothly than when I was an amateur.
