Some of the best coders I know are 9-5ers, with busy lives outside of anything to do with computers.

I understand where you're coming from but this is also a harmful mindset for anyone coming into the profession - I have been careful to emphasise to the people I'm tutoring to not make my mistakes and sacrifice life outside of work in the pursuit of "better" coding skills.



Best coders I know became good at coding long before they started working.
