This is a very good article. I study Computer science masters degree and work a as a software developer (part time while studying).

My time is occupied by doing homework assignments for my courses per semester and doing my job. Of course I have free time, but i don't want to spent my little free time on doing programming stuff again, that would burn me out.

I see a lot of people at university who don't do anything besides programming and gaming, and they mostly seem not to have any other life, i.e. a social life.

Many people put an indirect pressure one you by saying that lifespan learning is the goal, and you have to program in your free time. I'd like to, but part time work and university are keeping me busy most of my time...
