A developer who loves his job/hobby also codes in his free time (because it is also a hobby)
Of course, if being a develoepr is only a "job" - this sucks.
For example, I am coding 8h+ a day during my fulltime job. When I am back at home/weekends, I also spend a lot of my time to code private projects instead of playing games
Someone can certainly enjoy their job--and software development is certainly nothing special--without also wanting to spend their nights and weekends doing the same thing. For that matter, I'd probably take such a narrow set of interests as something of a disqualification.
I realized that passion to your work has a huge impact to your application.
If you are software developer (what I excect) and have a job - yeah it is a valid opinion. If you don't want to code in your free time it is up to you.
It doesn't mean that you have a narrow set of interests. It just mean I use a part of my free time to code.
Others are watching tv, playing games or doing other time wasting stuff.
And others are spending time with friends, families, taking care of their sick relatives, their kids, going hiking, reading, volunteering, etc.
There's no need to say X is "wasting time" in such an objective tone. For many, spending hours on the weekend doing programming is a waste of time (and it can be, most of the time). For you, it's fun. For others, they just don't have time to do it. No need to judge or expect others to live the same life as you.
WTF how is this a good thing?
