A comment on It is perfectly OK to only code at work, you can have a life too. Parent comment
For independent practitioners, it's outside of billable client time, but, yes, for people working wage labor on the profession this is true.
Software dev as wage labor has pretty crappy (for a profession) work conditions, and part of that is employers not alotting time and funding for CPE.
That doesn't mean people in the field shouldn't do CPE, but it does mean they should seek better terms of employment.
