There's a difference between programming for work and programming for pleasure.

When I program for pleasure, I'll do whatever I want and leave unfinished pieces all over the place.

When I program for work, I'm getting paid for something someone else wants me to do. I'm I'm not getting paid, then I'm not working on that code. If that makes me a 501 programmer than so be it.
