My passion used to be programming. I went back home and programmed or read stuff about programming. After close to 10 years in job market, I think it's not so great idea after all. It was much harder to de-stress. I took problems at work too personally. I sometimes made work decision that weren't unbiassed enough. Now I think that no matter how much you like your work, for long term personal well being do not do it at home.

My current after work hobby in an unlikely place. Precision rifle competitions. It's very scientific sport in nature - winning is pretty much about forecasting flight of your bullet, that involves lots of physics, statistics and controlling 10s of different variables. Recent king of 2 miles competition looked more like science olympiad: http://precisionrifleblog.com/2018/07/05/what-the-pros-use-k... .
