I have started my career two years back. I am curious what other programmers do in free time? What are some sites or other things you do in free time. Do you do programming or have GitHub communities?
Please advice what should I do in my free time to become a better programmer?
Read book.
What's this free time you speak of? ;-) I read on programming on my iPad in bed. Once in a while I'll even program some Python on it, in bed, giving new meaning to the term "embedded programming".
I suggest something unrelated to programming. Ski, hike, etc. As for me, doing anything physical has generally made me happy about life which in turn has made me a better programmer.
Having that said, I make things (clippad stand, marker tray for whiteboard, detachable box for pencils and ballpens, things like that) out of corrugated cardboard and I'm trying to learn some woodworking. I also read a lot, and I enjoy role-playing games these rare times I have a group and game master.

Thanks, Before starting something like learning new language or starting new project which is not related to my job I think how it will benefit me and I delay the things and never start it. Can you think same way or can you advice me.
I must confess, I rarely do anything professionally that I don't want to do anyway. In other words, I don't have to "make" myself do something - I do it 'cause I want to. I'm super curious.
That said, I need to learn Javascript for a side project. I don't find learning a JS very interesting in itself but combine it with something that do find interesting (3D graphics, Three.js) and it becomes fun. Sort of like spending time in France and learning French "accidentally".
