This is how you get good at it. If you don't like it as a hobby, maybe it's not a good job fit for you.

I disagree. There are many excellent programmers who don't do it as a hobby. I used to, especially before I was a professional programmer, but I can't find the time or energy for it anymore. Better keep it professional and do something else as a hobby.
