I'm in my forties and the times have not changed that much. We have a limited number of hours on this planet, and we don't know how limited they are until they're already mostly spent. We can slave away doing things we don't gain anything from, or we can go out and take control of our happiness. This fellow doesn't get paid for his work on Leaf and he works on it during his already spare time. He would gain more doing creative tasks - he wants to "do graphics, write music, make some games and record some videos." It has nothing to do with hard work and everything to do with allocating his time in the way he most wants to. He is taking control of his own happiness and that is admirable.
