I do not work on holidays. In case I am reading something and feel like trying it out, only then I will code. Otherwise, no regardless of situation.

Like now.
I'm on holiday and coding.

I positively refuse to code on vacation, even for personal projects. I see the entire point of a vacation to be to get away from the stresses and, as much as possible, the tasks and concerns of my everyday life. For my mind, it isn't much of a vacation if I don't get that mental break.
Would I never do any coding, or never do anything work related? Never say never. But work has to have a plan for the hit-by-a-bus scenario, which doubles as the backup plan for when I'm on vacation.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

I believe the idea was about public holidays and not personal ones.

A Holiday is a FULL day without user interruptions... Can't let that slip by...

Something you enjoy away from work with your family (optional).
Last think I want to think about when the sun is shining and a cold beer is in my hand - is work.

The holiday of 2011 I designed a darknet, with all the nodes and message types - on a beach in Wales, on my old BlackBerry, using memos. I was bored, and my stories weren't piquing my interest.
2013 I watched anime at home and relaxed the beach - couldn't be bothered with anything else. (No darknets were founded)
I once went on a backpacking holiday, a tour of Europe, and quickly realised my idea of a holiday is not the one where you're required to move around a lot.

I feel that coding during my free time is often a way to get things done, especially with the languages I'm learning (and have yet to learn) in my programming career.
Besides, I still code for fun, there's a lot of mini-projects that I want to get done, and the free time can be used effectively. I'd rather not have it go to waste.

When I'm vacation/holiday, I'm on vacation/holiday. Period. No email, no fax, no texting, no Visual Studio, etc.
Otherwise, what's the point of going on vacation?

Yer being generous with the "Hell" part.
I'd use a different 4-letter word, one beginning with "F".
You know, like Fart...

I am using the American (rather than UK) translation of the word holidays.
Holiday means a day off from work - not that I went somewhere with palm trees and blessedly no shame.
When I'm gone, I'm gone! Reservations already made.

Never coded on holiday when I was working, but now I am retired and I code for fun, so I code on vacation if it suits me.....
Well actually it was also fun when I was working and I got paid !

I work @ work during the week and spend about 20 hours on the weekend tending to my children[^].  Building and maintaining polished apps is a great source of joy for me. There's nothing else in life I'd rather do than build software.

Usually, I just poke around and experiment with things when I'm on vacation. Maybe not so strangely that I have some of my best ideas when I'm relaxing on the deck listening to the surf.

if I am coding on holiday or vacation it is most likely for something that I am doing on the side. when the work hours are over that doesn't mean for me that the coding hours are done.

has been programming on the weekend during a few crunches and helping a brand new to the project dev for about 15 min by answering some questions he emailed me.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I used to code a lot on vacation.
Actually I took vacations to code, usually to deal with a new technology or work on my own projects.
Now I code a lot less on vacation but still I usually take a bit of time to try that edge tech thing that just came out...
No code at all, and usually not even a laptop is on those palm tree and long chair kind of vacation.
There is where I do my detox isolation therapy trying to touch as little as possible anything that has a screen (phone included).

They didn't pay me to work in holidays, but to do other things.
Hence, as soon as my boss found out what my mobile number was, I changed it...if he provides the mobile, he can call it. If he provides the holiday, he can ruin it.
But if I pay for the phone, or I pay for the holiday, he can go forth and multiply...my time is my time.
