I think you’re completely misunderstanding what I’m trying to say. The hobbies ARE the side projects. They don’t have to be the same as your job.

But it’s still sitting in front of a computer programming. I do that but not that often. I’m already programming 8-9 hours a day. My interests go way beyond that.

I have not once said anything about programming in this discussion. The side project could be knitting for all I care. I specifically said it’s not important if the side projects are directly related to your job.

Then you’re lacking context and have been arguing without understanding what I was referring to.

Luke at LTT works in the development side of the company (floatplane for example) and the “side projects” are public repos in github/gitlab/etc.

I’ve seen Luke talk about it a little, and at least during the clips I watched, Github wasn’t mentioned. If he specifically says somewhere he’s only looking for open source coding projects, then sure, that’s a little unreasonable.

More generally though, there are plenty of hobbies you can talk to an employer about that could show “passion” without being programming. Personally I enjoy working on my own car, and I’ve talked about that before as a side project in interviews. If your hobbies require any skill at all, and aren’t just “turn your brain off and watch YouTube”, it will help you in just about any job. And from what I’ve heard from LTT, they’re not really any different.

The dude hires people for programming positions and a lot of people use their GitHub as a portfolio, basically. He was saying that if you don’t have that, you’re basically not even considered for the job.

In summary, this specific case was about it being basically a requirement to program 24/7. Which is pretty toxic.
