> But I write code at home. Not work-related code, and not to the exclusion of other hobbies. But coding is something I enjoy, something I sometimes like to do for its own sake. I won't apologise for that. So do I. I think the difference is whether you expect other people to do the same or not. I'm very careful in which way I mention this, especially when it comes to potential hires. This is not what makes a good programmer, it's just something I personally get a lot of value from.
