Here's my take on coding after hours: I do a lot of it. My wife, also a programmer, doesn't. She tends the garden, reads a lot & connects with family/friends. One of us is well adjusted, healthy & not potentially providing free labor to global tech empires with shitty ethics.
What do you count as "well adjusted", though? Are you being overly self-critical? Would escaping reality by watching TV every evening count as "well adjusted", for example? Because I think a lot of people do it, though I think it's no different from what you (or I!) do...

I guess it depends: Watching TV alone is probably similar to coding, but watching TV together is considered to be a shared/social activity by many people.

I guess we have to think how we can turn programming into some kind of e-sport? "… and on today's lineup there is fluffy_unicorn97 wielding her gdb at the defensive position. Let's see whether that's enough to foil the memory leaks our expert flanker sleepy-doggo has in store."
