Not sure if I agree that pragmatists don't code at home. Even if you aren't particularly enthusiastic there are still problems that are best solved with small programs.
Frankly I don't even agree that enthusiastic and pragmatic are mutually exclusive. In my own experience I've found it hard to get enthusiastic about programming without purpose. As far as I'm concerned this is what's called pragmatism.

Completely agree — I'll happily rewrite something 17 times on a hobby project. But at work I'm also the first person on the team to ask "do we need this?"
