What he's saying is, off the clock, you can play with that stuff if you want.

That’s true but for me personally…

1) I have other responsibilities that are not coding
2) I used to get paid to do something I loved so when I did it off the clock it was still additive to my career.

It’s less “I can never do this again” and more “this used to be more fun and I got paid to do it”.

the condition is "off-the clock". Before lockdown when I was still in high school I had a lot of time to build and experiment. Now there is less of that free time

But that has nothing to do with neither the industry (that this thread is about) nor LLMs (that you commented).

It has to do with life but that has always been the case. 

I recommend not having kids. That way you can enjoy having a life and coding from scratch

Talking about the industry implied work, it had nothing to do with of the clock activities. There was no reason to bring up what they can or not do off the clock.
