I'm a passionate about coding. Have more than 6 years of experience and still learning new stuff and I love it. I'm not a junior but neither a senior. According to my employer my rank is like a semi-senior.
I don't like side projects because I couldn't concentrate on another ones. Sometimes I do commits to a couple of open source projects. But to improve at home I like to read stuff about ood design, algorithms and projecteuler/hackerank/codingame exercises.
I would say yes, we improve as programmers and I dare to say maybe more than just freelancing projects at home. Tbh I don't study or practice all days! But I think the most important thing other than side projects is having a true authentic interest for improving your abilities as a programmer.
