This gets me pretty burnt out on 'programming stuff' 22 here -- I have a similar programming day-job and nothing works better than a good 1 hour of lifting/running to relax and clear your mind of the last 8-9 hours at work. Usually after my workout I'll spend another hour to cook a good dinner and watch some TV to kick back. I make it a point to shut the door on the past 8 hours and mentally move on. Working out seems counter intuitive because you think you'll be more tired after a workout (some days it will exhaust you), but once you get a good routine going you feel more energized and rest better during the night, etc.
