I'm not the first person to talk about this paradigm and I won't be the last. Every single programmer I've seen that is exceptionally good at their job also does it for fun. They have an itch. It must be scratched. No matter how fun and lenient the work place, they always have their own project to work on. Their own passion. But, I think there is more to it, or I'd just site some previous articles and be done with it.

Don't work for someone where you won't have fun coding.

I don't think they need to necessarily code all the time, but as long as they do some part-time hacking/keeping up. Some programmers just get exhausted with looking at code all day and instead will go home to hack together a new PC or investigate a new idea.
