I have an employer who pays me to do thing X. And they don’t care that I also work on thing Y a little bit.

I think there’s lots of software written by people who have jobs and code because it’s fun.

For example, Linus Torvalds made Subsurface [0] as open source. He had a job while he made this. He didn’t get paid for it directly, but it’s not like paying him extra would make it better.
