I am always curious to know: how do programmers automate things? how do they spend their free time? how do they keep learning in their respective fields without feeling burn out?

That’s your job if you work with the internet: hoping the last thing you wrote is good enough to survive for a few hours so you can eat dinner and catch a nap.

The only reason coders’ computers work better than non-coders’ computers is coders know computers are schizophrenic little children with auto-immune diseases and we don’t beat them when they’re bad.
