I have child so it's impossible to code 24/7 :) But seriously, do not code all day long even if it's your great passion. You will burnout really quick and be tired of coding. Even juniors whom need to code much to learn, should have breaks (IMHO).

I do think coding for too long might give you the wrong impression about what the job means and you risk giving up or end up hating it, when it's not the case. Balance it's important and coding should be fun.
