I do it for work all the time. Maybe that does take something away from sport, like a car mechanic losing the desire to tinker with his own car every day. One does need an income though, and IMHO you might as well do something you basically enjoy. See "Who is hiring?" post at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19543995 if it seems like your thing.
Thanks. I have no complaints, on doing it either for work or sport; just wanted to say that nothing happens if you abandon and declare losing when doing it for sport. Instead for work, when reverse-engineering, options are two: you either figure it out, or you figure it out.
