Discussion on: It's perfectly fine to only code at work, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

My father is a carpenter. If he needs or wants something for himself or something needs fixing, then he will build it, but he won't start to build a house, just because he has some free time.

I am the same with software development. There are things that I will code for myself, those are things that I want or need, things that save me time or just things that I do for fun. Nothing of those is comparable to things I code professionally.

I don't have the time for that, I have a wife, I have a son, I have friends... and a shit-ton of shows on Netflix that I want to watch.
