Perhaps, but this is only important if you need the absolute best coder above all other skills. People do other things during their free time that can build valuable skills that contribute to them being a better programmer and teammate. For example, volunteer coaching makes you a better mentor, playing team sports can make you a better collaborator, etc. Just being good at code isn’t the only important thing. Programming requires communication and understanding what people want. Sometimes you need to debug the human mind.
