   My question is regarding studying and learning new material. Before I got my job as a web developer, I was studying at least 2 hours per night, but now that I have the job (been in the job for 2 years), I want to come home and relax. How much time do you spend reading about new technology or working on new projects? Do you do it while at work or at home at your own time?\nI plan on getting a new job in the future and I feel I need to start studying again. I need to refresh my skills on different algorithm questions. My GitHub is empty because I haven\u2019t worked on new projects since I got the job. Should I worry about that? How much studying should I do for future interviews? Do I need to listen to hard skill engineering podcasts to be up to date on new technology? If I\u2019m not doing any of these already, does that mean I\u2019m not passionate enough and I won\u2019t do well in this career?

   I just had a 1:1 with a junior engineer I\u2019m mentoring. He mentioned that he has difficulty compartmentalizing work from his personal life (for example, even when he\u2019s not working, he can\u2019t stop thinking about his code and edge cases and possible bugs missed). Got any life hacks to help him care less?
