Yes, but that was precisely my point. Not that you have to keep doing it to be a good programmer, but that good programmers usually have already spent a lot of time doing that in the past, even if they no longer do so.
I'm much the same now, I used to spend a lot of my spare time coding. Now it's mostly coding during work hours and occasionally doing a little research at home.
