I think it's sometimes easy for (passionate) programmers to forget that they happen to be obsessed with something that is also a highly marketable skill. From our little group of elementary school computer enthusiasts only one other guy and I were into programming. It's only the two of us who still make a living working with our passion, the "traders" and "swappers" did not turn out to have hobbies that extended into multi-decade long careers.
