    That's why I vowed to never go into programming as a career — I don't want my art to be muddied by money, and I don't want a boss over my head.

    I don't understand this logic. How exactly programming as a career is incompatible with amateur (hobby) programming? Do you think they force you to stay at work non-stop 24/7 at IT companies? Or do you think professional programmers give some kind of oath pledging to avoid any kind of coding related activities in their free time?

    It depends, because in some places this is exactly what happens.
