To start, a healthy lifestyle is often viewed as having a diversity of activities and interests, with which I mostly agree.
The problem I notice is that software changes so quickly. Especially in the world of web development, it seems like a new framework is coming out every week. It creates a feeling of needing to stay up-to-date and always active with it.
Now, this could extend into the realm of responsibility. While this potential employee certainly is productive at writing code, how much time are they spending doing it? Are they neglecting other responsibilities due to writing software? To me, spending too much time doing any one thing is never healthy and should be a red flag. As I always say, "everything in moderation."
I may sound like I am exaggerating, and for many instances I certainly may well be. But I know people personally whose lives actually like this. Life certainly isn't about creating software. Life is about experiencing all sorts of things. While creating software is definitely enjoyable, it shouldn't occupy every waking moment of our day.
