Entrepreneurship? Getting more technical has a diminishing ROI after 10 years.

Or something completely orthogonal to computing. Something you enjoy. For fun.

Does anyone do anything just for the hell of it anymore, or is it all driven by money?

I'm driven by money because everything is getting more and more expensive :)

Well money is a requirement to live, and if you can do what you enjoy and get paid the money you need to live doing it, what's the problem?

I disagree on this. A senior developer in any language will make far more, 2x-3x, what a junior developer will make.

Can make.

There is a hard plateau on how much you can make as an employee though. If you can build something and own the business, it's unlimited.

There’s also a floor when you’re an employee. The floor for an entrepreneur is $0.

Yes, you should have some sort of income, hence I'd recommend working for others until your own business makes enough to support you.
