    Professional but like everyone else it's also my hobby. I just tend to code something completely different from work when I'm doing it as a hobby (ie: if the work day was a VBA app, then hobby is C++ w/DX, if work was C++ w/Win32 then hobby is C text game, etc.). Keeps my mind fresh and keeps me from getting completely bored with one or the other.

    Professional but I don't really do it as a hobby.

    Currently, it's more professional. I also code for school. Every so often, I get time on my own to experiment with new things. I guess it just depends on the time of year really.

    For me its more on the order of an extended weekend project. I haven't been to serious, yet, mainly due to lack of inspiration/clue as to what I would use things for. Just give me a while, I might make a living off it when I'm on my own.
