But sports, languages, hiking, etc. are all different activities. I'm already coding at work 40+ hours a week, the last thing I want to do when I get home is code even more.
I know a guy that codes for 40 hours. Goes home and codes. Spends other time preparing for conference talks. Goes to the bar and actually codes at the damn bar. This dude absolutely loves to code. I just do this for the money. I spend my free time with my wife and son.
