The poster is speaking through the analogy: they mean most people here have coded professionally but not at home. I'm not sure I agree with that, I think a lot of programmers have done hobby projects, even if only when they were starting out.

The idea that there are devs who did not do fairly extensive home coding is so alien to me! I don't personally know a single dev like that, and it would never have occurred to me that they exist.

Thanks for clearing up my confusion! That comment makes total sense now and not as baffling as it first looked.
