To put it bluntly, this is nonsense. You can't generalize like that. I do work M-F 9-5, but I do take my time on the job to educate myself from time to time, simply because it is part of my job to know what I'm doing. But as soon as I'm at home, I've seen enough code for the day, except maybe some nice video, book or presentation on programming catches my attention. On the other hand I've seen self-employed consultants who don't give a flying fuck about the quality of their work, they come into a project, get it to work just well enough to not cause major mayhem, and leave a pile of stinking source code behind for the next one to deal with it, while they enjoy puking into the next customer's version control system. Not my kind of work ethics, I might add.
