Could you please define "Top Programmer(s)" ?
Depends what you mean by work? I'm reading an article on Async with C#, that's not coding but is work.

This was in response to my suggestions on how we should all keep learning.I argued many good programmers have family with kids and still manage to keep up. They brushed me off saying it's just not possible or they don't look after their kids.When i look...
