> I used to think less about people who check out at 5pm - how can you just leave and not give a shit that the code is a mess?

As someone who checks out at 5pm, I think you're looking at it from the wrong POV.

The main thing that drives me is the projects I work on in my spare time. I care that _that_ code is a mess. So, I might do a bit of work on that in the morning, but then start my actual paying job at e.g. 8am.

So how can I just leave my hobby project and not give a shit that the code is a mess? Because I get paid to do so, I have to work on whatever my boss wants me to work on because that's my job -- but as soon as 5pm hits I get to think about the stuff I really care about again.
