But you can be a software dev even if you do not work in software dev. Plenty of those individuals in open source, for example.

writing software for a hobby is different from hundreds of thousand that do it 40+ hours per week, go into planning into retros into milestone review meetings etc.

I am painting in my free time as a hobby. I do not think I am an authority or should be taken seriously when taking about impact of AI on artists.

Consider your biases about the word "hobby". It's easy to average way more than 40 hours per week on a hobby, and to spend those hours with as much deadly seriousness as the hours at work. Especially if you don't work full-time or don't work at all.
