I am a father of 3. The mental energy necessary to write good code is simply unavailable after work. By the time the kids are fed, dishes are washed, laundry is folded, the lawn is mowed, and my wife and I spend quality time together, it's well past 11 p.m.

When should I code? Other than at work, I mean. The weekends? Maybe. If I don't have to fix the car/dryer/relative's laptop, go visit family who lives 2 hours away, AND if is skip Cheer, soccer, dance, and karate.
