What are you doing it for? Is it you are doing it for career progression, personal branding, creating your own startup or you are interested in developing open source because it is fun?

You don't really exactly need to do coding all the time outside of your work. Enriching your mind helps a lot like listening to a podcast, reading books, watching videos, networking, documenting your development journey through your personal blog.

Right now I do it for career progression/ expanding knowledge. And yes, hobbies are really important for keeping a healthy mind. Thank you for your input.
