What bothers me so much is that my work is supposed to be my hobby. After programming for 8 hours a day, I go home and do something else, I have no interested in programming once I'm done working.
Some companies I've interviewed with claim that I'm just not enthusiastic about programming, or that I'm not motivated enough, simply because I don't do any programming at home. They also questioned how I could learn new things. And my answer is usually the same; if they expect someone that wants to program 24/7, then I'm definitely not the right person. I have other hobbies I'm interested in, and I have no desire to burn out. I also expect to be given the time to keep up with new tech on the job.
