I love to code. Deeply. At work, I experiment on things and do my job, i make things work: I code. So I guess I can be called a programmer. I love it, I read blog posts all the time. I try to keep myself up to date by knowing what's happening. New languages, new frameworks, new algorithms on github etc.. so I think I match the "passionate" tag you're talking about. Yet, at home, I don't code.. at all! I play/record music, I hang out with friends, I read..
So right from the start I think you're mistaken. You can be passionate, learn and progress daily at work and have a personal life unlinked to the programming world. That's what I do. One of my colleagues codes day and night. He's crazy good. Yet i teach him things as much as he teaches me things. I guess as long as you want to learn, you don't necessarily need to spent hours on your spare time to become a better programmer.
