Bonus point: Going back over code in a project, thinking "Who wrote this, I can't remember when I've seen code this shitty", and then checking and finding out you wrote it.

this, only people that are "real (insert profession)" would focus only on thier job, none everything else

almost right.
I'd say: when someone else starts making [more] money thanks to your program

This. When you write bad code and realize that you will have to read it in the future, you take more precaution to make it readable in the future

Also, spending an obscene amount of time looking for a bug in one place of your code, meticulously going over every line, every operation, every bit of punctuation until you're at the brink of sanity, only to realize that the problem is somewhere unrelated entirely.

Almost right. I'd say covering the costs of a pregnant missus thanks to your codefu
