I split my day. At work I mostly do web stuff (some C# and PowerShell, too), but when I get back home, I can work on my game project, which uses Rust. Since I use different languages for entirely different projects (one can harldy compare building a website to building a 3D game in a system language), it is actually kinda refreshing to sit down and program.
Unfortunately, That's not what happens all the time, since I also have a "real life" which, especially in the last few weeks, keeps me away from the computer when I get home...
I don't really recommend reading code on GitHub. On the one hand, you really don't know the skills of the person who wrote the code and on the other hand: isn't it boring? Take up a good novel instead :) Programming is something you need to practice in order to become better at it (as is the same with most other skills).
