Only code at work? That doesn’t make you a worse programmer

I think it's a reaction against the past decade of "you should only hire devs who breathe, sweat, and bleed code" that we've seen for the past decade.

Also lots of devs are getting older, find their priorities in life shifting, and writing blogs about it.

Yup. I have a two year old. Guess how much time I get every weekend to work on hobby code?

If you guessed a negative number, congratulations on your growing family, because you understand.

Congrats on the two year old. Mine turns two next month. Some nights, after he goes to bed and I'm done with chores, I'll open up my laptop, fire up VS Code, and wake up on the couch four hours later.
