I think this article is great, and an important counter to the idea that being a developer is some sort of lifestyle choice, primarily. I know really good developers who just treat it as a job, and developers who do side projects and spend lots of their spare time on it who are... not so good.

See also the silliness around the idea that if you don't use a dark them or use Windows you can't be a real developer.

I think a lot of it comes down to insecurity, of course.
