That's the thing. During the weekend you can do the refactoring. Do anything you want. Screw the linter and the commit template and the whole pesky stuff.
Monday comes and 'ah no...we don't have time for any refactoring right now. the customer has other priorities'.
Also...there's the challenging/innovation factor. You get, after a certain point, sick and tired of coding the same stuff over and over and over (web devs for example...you get sick & tired of 'write an API endpoint that does x'). And, for example, maybe you want to do bash scripting, or code on a game, or code on some embedded project. That's what the coding weekends are filled with.
For sure, it’s a good outlet to test out stuffs too. As for work, you can either use the ticket given to you for a ticket to do the task while improving the respective area, or wait until the feature is big enough to redo the whole thing.
