I don't program in my spare time. Does that make me a bad developer?

I'm sure that 98% of programmers who are of indian origin dont code in their spare time. They do it because its a good living and nothing else.

And a lot of them are good at what they do.

Most of my friends are indians who are programmers - none of them code outside of work. And I mean none. I'm indian - I code outside of work as I'm trying to start a company.

Indians look at programming as a great way to make good money. And a way to move up to management after that. Thats about it.
