You don't have to program all the time to be a good developer. We don't expect good members of other skills to spend the majority of their free time on that area. Well-roundedness is a good thing. I'm sure a lot of good programmers might find themselves spending a decent chunk of time on movies, video games, social activities, reading, etc.
- joshuak 13y agoAbsolutely true. I didn't mean to imply that doing what you love to do means doing it literally 100% of your time. It's simply what you tend to do when you have a choice of anything at all. If on the other hand you are always playing music; playing it for fun in your free time, taking classes, and tend to get busted slacking at your programming job because you are talking about or playing music too much. Than perhaps programming isn't what you should be doing.
