The idea that you have to be doing side-hustles and reading up on things over the weekend is nonsense.

If you're a professional with some years experience behind you and you work 40-odd hours per week on software engineering, you do not need to do more outside of work hours.

You don't see Accountants balancing books for fun. You don't see doctors treating people outside of work for kicks.

Have other hobbies, have other interests, have a family. Be a balanced human being. Your team might just benefit from you more that way.
