Honestly I agree with this.

When I was more junior, or not doing programming as a full time job, I was more motivated to work on personal projects. Now I am more senior and programming/managing people full time, I can't get motivated to work on code-related projects in my downtime. It sucks :/

I’m in a senior position and most of my time goes to architecting and design work. I barely get to code at my day job.

I just use my free time to code. I see it as a relaxing activity

Same, I never code personally as much as when I'm in a management position. When coding during the day (which I like very much), I have less side projects or they tend to languish.
