One of the reasons why I love writing software as a hobby even after doing it at work day in and day out is that home-made code is different. It’s not bothered by deadlines and requirements and specs and pressure and none of that.
It’s hobbit software, as coined by Dave Anderson:
Pretty chill, keeps to itself, tends to its databases, hangs out with other hobbit software at the pub, broadly unbothered by the scheming of the wizards and the orcs, oblivious to the rise and fall of software empires around them.
