You missed the important part of that statement, the "in their spare time".

Learning and practicing on the job is one thing, expecting it in the remaining 1/3 of your life is too much.

If you LOVE something - you do it in your "spare" time. That was the core of my point. I will take a dentist, butcher, developer who LOVES their work in such a way that the line between work and fun is blurred over someone who is working for the weekend - any day!

You can be a fine developer who just clocks in and out. But if I had a choice (and sometime I don't). I would choose the guy who loves what they do and does it in their "spare" time.
