I think the trick to being a full time developer in my eyes is to either have lots of projects going that you can switch between, or at least have projects where you can architect the solution. Otherwise things get boring quickly.
I have never been in a situation where I only had one project going or where I've used someone elses architecture, but I'm not looking forward to the day when this becomes the case.
Maybe I'll just need to be my own boss
