I do webdev as a hobby. Making random cool projects and sharing them on Github for everyone to enjoy. I don't expect to get financially compensated for my efforts though. The reason I keep it as a hobby is that the thoughts of doing stuff for fun, and then /working/ on the same material at a job is excessive and means your whole life is swamped in coding, which is unhealthy.
There are many people who have 'went pro' and turned their hobby into a job, but I wouldn't be able to handle that. The thing about jobs is that you have to adhere to someone else's rules and schematics and work on things that don't excite you as a hobby would do. If possible, switch to doing code as a hobby and stop chasing jobs (which churn out code at breakneck speed and your code becomes vaporware within a month).
