While this is a true statement, I don't really like this mentality in our field. Just the thought that hiring managers want you to have 15 side projects and a full Github profile, and also work 16 hour days at the office. If you are a programmer/developer and you don't eat your meals at a computer desk while staring at code, you are seen as less.
I love developing it was the best career move i've ever made, but you know what? I also love friends, hiking, jogging, going to the gym, video games, playing guitar, and watching movies.
I don't live to work. I work to pay for the stuff I like to do outside of work.

Side projects. Show me what you've done, and run me through how you developed it. Since you developed it, you should know the inner workings of it.
