What developers do in free time?

I am very curious to know what developers do in their free time.

When I am done with all the projects, I lay down on my bed and open Chrome and start searching, exploring and reading about new technologies. Sometimes I judge websites😉 by checking their DOMAIN Authority using MOZ Toolbar,

Or by detecting through WAPPALYZER which technology is involved in the development of the website🤓

Otherwise, I figure out different ways to scrape the content of the website 😂.

Also, I check Developer Console of every website, what they have mistakenly or intentionally returned on the Console. I was stunned to see DEV.TO website logging DEV word on the developer console.

What do you do 😉 in your free time?

I do the same as you said detecting the technology through Wappalyzer, check the console. I also sometimes check what requests they are sending to the server, their responses and what they are saving locally 😁.
And more importantly, I just watch a movie 😎.

Mostly focussing on my main two hobbies: playing on my guitar and keyboard and nature photography. And sometimes a bit of gaming.

I don't really do much of developing outside of work. I've always been an enormous fan of playing musical instruments, and I play guitar and sing in a band, so a lot of my spare time goes into doing that. I've also recently taken on Kung Fu as a new hobby, as I've always wanted to learn a martial art. This takes up a lot of time as well, as we've got three classes a week and you're supposed to be practicing forms and stretches at home in order to improve faster. And I also enjoy watching series and do nothing some of the time, so I just leave the developing for work hours most of the time.

I try to spend my time to my family and fire fighting.
In the weekends I try to go for a day in the nature.

But it happens a lot that I'm behind my computer tryout some new stuff, just because I like it
