Generally speaking, the person who does something for fun, not remuneration, is called an amateur (or hobbyist), as distinct from a professional.

It is not entirely uncommon for a hobbyist to be the first to discover a celestial body or event.

But the reality is that the hobbyist programmer doesn't just program on the weekends - they're also programming during the week at their “real” jobs.
Also, as hobbyist applications make companies more open to the benefits of technology, they open the door to commercial software that can augment or replace the homegrown applications and maybe do a better job.

After reading reports and seeing photographs of the captured vessel, hobbyists concluded that the gray drug craft was crudely constructed and not a serious attempt at building a submarine.
Hobbyists have been building homemade subs for years with the help of plans in magazines like Popular Mechanics and designs from men like former naval submarine captain George Kittredge, whom some hobbyists consider the founder of the homemade-sub craft.
Most homemade-sub hobbyists build one- and two-passenger steel subs that resemble 10-foot- to 15-foot-long propane tanks in shape with view ports.

 Wired News: Rocket Hobbyists Dropping Hobby
But before he could even think about launching, he had to cross his fingers and hope that the motor he had ordered for his rocket would also be there, hand-delivered by the vendor.
That's because, thanks to increased regulation after 9/11, it is more difficult than ever for rocket hobbyists like Ebert to legally store rocket motors -- which often include fuel that is now classified as an explosive -- at home.
But since the ATF imposed new rules, some hobbyists have abandoned their pastime, and the next generation of engineers and scientists, some fear, is being driven away.

Model-rocket hobbyists must be licensed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives before buying motors that are now considered explosives under a homeland security law.
Enzi said they will continue working legislatively to exempt certain model-rocket propellants, in the same fashion that antique-firearm users are exempted from permit requirements for using fl powder.
"It would allow [hobbyists] to continue without having to jump through a bunch of hoops and red tape that was not the intent of the law," said spokesman Coy Knobel.

 Will the Last Computer Hobbyist Please Turn Out the Lights? - Columns by PC Magazine
Most of the hobbyists bailed out during that era, because they could not rationalize the expense of keeping up.
Around 1992 there was a 3-year lull that had the potential to bring the hobbyists back, but Windows quickly confirmed the need for new machines, and until recently that was the theme.
