Hi there! Found this community because I stumbled on the "Programmers who only code at work" thread.
I personally love to code, but I don't want it taking up my whole life. I feel like there's a huge stigma that if you're not constantly coding, it means you're lazy to learn. I spent majority of 2016 learning new things, joining all the hackathons I could, and building up my portfolio hoping to get noticed. And I did--I landed a job at an amazing company while I was on my last year of school. But now, I feel like if I strive for the same amount of work I did last year, I would burn out.
On the weekends, I like to kick back, play a raid or two, read a book, go hiking, or just browse Reddit. But inside I feel so guilty.
