Coding at home is not an indicator of passion. Some people only code at work and they really love coding. However, I do believe that in the long run if someone spends 12h per day doing something and someone else spends 8h per day, eventually, the person who spends 12h per day will achieve a higher level of mastery. There are exceptions of course (so people can learn in 1 hour what other learn in many more hours).

Some people don't code at home but they do read, watch conference, etc talks at home.

I guess the important things is not how many hours do you spend writing code but how many hours do you spend learning something new.
