To add to this, itβs not only unhealthy but leads one away from the concrete reality we live in and this results to out of touch thinking.
(I actually do some unrelated personal writing but not a huge amount.)
There are also people for whom coding really is just a job. It puts food on the table. They enjoy/tolerate it well enough for what it pays. But it's not something they want to do as a hobby.
ADDED: People can do whatever they want in their spare time. But, not to pick on you, the belief in many corners of tech that writing software must be some all-consuming passion is unhealthy.
