Do you code in your free time after a full day of coding at work?

I used to code a lot more in my free time, but less so now. Not entirely sure why… maybe back then I was young and full of more enterprising ideas? Or maybe today I’m just jaded and have come to realize how much time it takes to follow those ideas through to completion. Just thinking about it gives me anxiety. Not to mention if something you do becomes popular you’re stuck maintaining it… :shivers:

Alternatively, what I’ve found a little less stressful is writing or doing things like the Flowchart for JavaScript's this. A brain dump is good to help get your thoughts organized, gives you something for reference later on, and can be helpful to others. I’ve been meaning to do more, and even have some ideas for some new things, but gotta find some time to do them (why do I have so little time now?).
