The comment you're replying to says they do it for fun. If you don't find it fun, of course you won't do it for fun outside work, at best you'd do it for more money or something.

I don't know if I'd go as far as "living and breathing" but at work I write boring code, at home I write fun code. Different languages, different problems, no deadlines, actual fun rather than work.
