I started programming as a hobby in 1986 in 6th grade. By the time I graduated college in 1996, I had been a hobbyist programmer in 4 different assembly languages. I haven’t written a line of code “for fun” since then. The last thing I want to do is open an IDE after work after doing for my job.

I was a part time fitness instructor from around the time I graduated until I was 35, dabbled in real estate for a few years, got (re)married at 35 and raised two (step)children and now my wife and I just started traveling and doing the “digital nomad” thing - staying in hotels and flying mostly to different cities in the US with a few stops in Canada and Mexico.

There are a million of things I would rather do with my free time.

To add: I love coding. It is fun. But after work, I close the work laptop and enjoy time with family, some games, getting house work done, etc. Coding then coding and then coding some more is a surefire way to burn yourself out. I've done it. It is bad.
