I was scrolling through my dev.to feed, and I saw many posts relating to programming jobs.
I started coding when I was 11, and I’ve been using it as a hobby since.
Do you program for a job or as a hobby?

Nice!
Both.
Cool!
Both. I do stuff I care about on my own time if I can't on the job to keep my love for it. Although I am as not as crazy as in the beginning when all I could think about in the most beautiful spot on earth was what wondrous programs I could write there.
Nice!
Got into coding when I was 17 after watching The Social Network. Fell in love with it. Took computer science in my high school as my main stream. And here I am, still in love with it. So, it's more like a hobby and job combination to me. I really don't know where it falls.
Nice!
I started of as a hobby and still is going on as a hobby, I've learnt so much, I am quite happy to keep it as a hobby, being able to control my work.
Nice!
Started as a hobby when I was 12. Started programming professionally at 23. Found out way too quickly that burnout is real. I ended up forcing myself out of the game but I never stopped loving it. After a good six years of doing warehouse work, last year I started programming again professionally and, knowing what I know now over a decade later, I know it's where I belong. Now it's my jobby.
That’s great!
Hey, I think programming as hobby use more creativity than as job because in job maybe write more traditional code. I prefer programming as a hobby maybe because it makes me feel like I'm an artist who brings life to his/her imaginations. I try to do more programming for myself not for gaining something just because it is fun. but on the other side I need money so a job is essential.
That’s cool!
Started off as a hobby 😅..... high interest in hacking as a kid, now a full time job and some times still a hobby cause I enjoy problem solving and tasking challenges on a regular.

I started off doing it as a hobby I am fascinated with gaming and this felt like a good career path to go down. Now its both hobby and career for me.

I made my hobby to a job, started doing things in the same age as you :) then also appended an apprenticeship and a bachelor to it, and nowadays I can call it a job :)
