Too much of a good thing
I love coding. It is an incredibly rewarding experience, financially as well as personally. I program for work, school, and leisure. Sometimes, I code too much. I’ve stayed up all night coding before, skipping meals, showers, and even quality time with my wife. When taken to the extreme like this, even a good thing can turn into a negative. To make sure that the good things in our lives don’t become the bad things, balance and moderation are key. Sometimes I just need to turn off my computer and enjoy real life.

Agreed. I think passion for designing software needs to be balanced by a whole host of other things in life. I've pretty much given up coding personal projects, since the time I would spend doing those personal projects is usually best spent doing other things.
