It depends. On my personal projects, I'd put my passion at around 95. On my work projects, about 30.
In terms of programming generally, as in passion for programming theory and whatnot, I'm honestly not sure how to answer that. In my younger years, I was very passionate about such things. But as the decades passed and my skills and knowledge grew, I reached a place where I became more passionate about what I was programming than the programming process itself. Which doesn't mean I don't have passion for the process. It's just complicated.
