Do you do any programming in the weekend?

Do you guys do any programming in the weekend, whether for work, for learning, or just for fun?

I used to think I needed to practice programming in the weekend or at least use the time to do freelance work. Now I try not to do any programming in the weekend unless I actually feel like I want to do it. It helped me focus on other aspects of my life and do other things that make me happy.

Of course I do - so called "side projects" where I practice some new solutions or features for new dotnet or things like that.

Usually personal projects, or mini personal projects (finishable in some hours) to test new tech or to have fun

I only do personal projects on the weekend; the things that are purely for me and are "optional". It could also mean adding an optional feaature on a project I'm currently working on.

Sometimes I code on the weekend, but these are almost always related to either my blogging efforts or my note taking. Which means either writing up a new Emacs function or refining my blog build process.
