> Diversity of experience seems orthogonal to whether one codes outside of work.
It might be (I don't think it's practically orthogonal though it's obviously not strictly linked), I should have mentioned both quantity and diversity of experience (and, in fact, thought I had; I must have dropped part of intended edit.)
I can spend W + H time making X widgets, granting more quantity in the same scope or W making X widgets and H making Y (or Y0...Y∞) systems, for increased diversity with the same quantity in X.
