I think, as with most things, there are seasons where you can't get enough code and then there are seasons where you need breaks. I just try to listen to my body. Am I getting more frustrated than intrigued by problems? Maybe it's time for other activities. As I've gotten into my 6th year of writing software professionally I find myself coding less outside of work, but it could just be a season! Listen to your body and if you can find someone to check in with that knows you well that can be a great help too! I have a couple of people I check in with, one is my wife who really knows me well and can tell when I'm agitated or not happy, and then another is a coworker I trust to be honest with me about my work and how I'm interacting with others. At the end of the day, just ask yourself why you're doing what you do, and if the why is lined up with what you really value I think it will all shake out in the end. (Whether you're on vacation or not ha)
