It's not even about wanting to do it. Doing anything on the metaphorical 24/7 will burn people out.

- Lazare 7y agoYeah. I quite enjoy programming, and I'm quite good at it; as a result I quite enjoy my job and I get paid quite a lot. I'm very lucky! And to help protect that, I carefully limit the amount of programming I do outside of work hours. The last thing I want is to burn out and stop enjoying my job! And also, there's an enormous number of enjoyable things in life (family, friends, crafts, etc.). Diversifying my hobbies is win/win. I don't judge people who focus purely on programming, but I do suspect that they may find their views change over time.
