That doesn't sound like play to me, especially if you start expecting others to do it to get hired.

- rerdavies 4y agoDo you not play? That sounds to me like a reason not to hire you. It would be interesting to find out what percentage of professional programmers play. I would guess almost all of them. Would I expect anyone to do the sort of play I do? Definitely not.
- nicbou 4y agoWhen I was a professional, 40 hours of programming were enough for me. When I went home, I wanted to do something else. This is what I'm getting at. It's no longer play if it's mandated by the industry, on top of your full-time job. It puts people with a life outside of programming at a disadvantage.
