Have a life or code?

A lot of people say :

• Usually when a coder stops coding for 6 months, it’s hard / impossible for him to come back.
• Some people that were under pressure for 20-30 years have a nervous breakdown(only towards computers) and ultimately reject coding afterwards.

I don’t really have a strong opinion on that subject, I am sure a lot of people didn’t have breakdowns, I’m sure a lot of people came back to coding after 6 months without finding it hard and finally I’m sure you can both have a life and be the best in development !
