I think it depends. I would code after my work hours if it's something that I am learning or want to learn or understand it better. Also, if I have some sort of a side project I would do that too. And that kind of thing comes and goes. If you think that you need to code after work hours or you will stay behind I would say for you to relax. FOMO and the feeling that other people are making progress and you are not is the one thing that could make you feel stress.
I think if you do not exaggerate you will always be able to learn new things, work on side projects, and code after work hours. But you also be able to play video games, watch movies and just chill.
