If you work as a developer and your hobby is developing then there's a good chance that you'll burn out.

People are allowed to have more than one hobby. And I'd think that if your paid job is writing and maintaining boring internal enterprise apps, hacking on fun projects could prevent you from getting burned out.

I occasionally try new recipes, jog, travel, exercise and other none computer related activities are way to prevent from getting burned out.
