I've been hacking on some random new things to learn on the weekends lately. For a while I never coded on the weekend, but I'm back to having a lot of fun with it.
Got back into IT a year ago. Usually code in C# for an ERP customers and am making my own website with ASP.NET and other stuff I have no idea how to use... yet :)
Definitely. But maybe because I don't do it all day as a job?
Currently trying to figure out how deployment works for Python... installer, requirements, pip, you name it.
I am a technology lover in all ways. I value people. I find beauty in diversity. I like to get to know people. Programming is just an excuse for all of that.
Recovering interrupter with occasional relapses, lover of spreadsheets, blogger, programmer, adept debugger, conjurer of analogies, and probably other things.
I almost always code on the weekends. One of the joys of Emacs as your primary text editor is you always have fertile ground for coding and learning new concepts.
Almsot every weekend. Lately it's been my Final Year Project. If not, some personal projects or, worst case, work stuff because I swapped a working-day with a weekend-day.
Very much so. However, I'm a super early bird. I'm most aware/focused from 5:30am - 11:00am. So if I can get an hour or two in I consider the rest of my day free. But to be clear, I try for two hours, I only feel like doing 1? Doing 30 minutes? Hey, at least I did something. I think the biggest thing is to not beat yourself up.
Sometimes. It really depends on whether there's something interesting going on in my head that I want to put into code.
I don't really enjoy putting building blocks together into a product and would much rather just spend my time dicking around with random language features, so I mostly end up building my own micro-frameworks for everything, then when I'm done with them I don't have anything to use them for so I move on to the next thing :D
A little, i started blogging a little (nonpublic), while i work i sometimes find something silly that is not really worth much focus/time, i make notes or a small codepen and when i feel like it on the weekend i work on it and more or less pretend to write a blog post about it as if i had an audience just to improve my approach to learning and communicate better. It has become like a little no pressure hobby and i enjoy the writing part. Also the blog is in english so i practice english as an additional benefit.

If I have a side project I'm really in to — yes.
I never do anything remotely close to my work code on weekends.
Yes, usually its freelancing or learning something new or any fun thing.

Yes, normally personal projects but lately really work stuff…
Yep!

Yes I code just about everyday as I am learning to code Web3 :):):)

Happy coding all!
weekends are for learning and the side-hustle
Of course
