I think it depends on the person and their own passion or enjoyment levels with coding. At first, I was constantly trying to do as much as possible on the side to grow and further my skill set. But as time went on, I realized that it was completely not needed and it would just burn me out. I love to code. I love to learn to code better. I love trying out new languages here and there. When work is over, I SHUT IT DOWN. I typically don't do anything coding oriented outside of work anymore (well, not entirely true, I do play with arduino's and stuff).
I code to live, I don't live to code. But I also LOVE to code.
