Are you saying in general - or just for Windows-based software (since you mentioned needing to set up Visual Studio)?
The latter I can understand; but the former makes me want to ask, "Who applies for an SWE position who doesn't write code at home?"
I've been an SWE professionally since 1991 when I was 18; I got my first computer in 1984, and have been "coding at home" ever since. I'm not saying "to be an SWE you need a similar experience" (I know that's untrue) - I'm just relating that I've been coding for a long time, and "at home" is very much a part of it.
Then again, I've heard of people who absolutely hated coding, but were extremely good at it (and I assume made good money doing it), but when they went home, they didn't even want to think about such a thing. Maybe you are similar in that regard?
I guess I am just curious and a bit fascinated by your comment...
