Sorry to hear about your job loss. It will be interesting though to see how your interest in making apps for the sake of it is impacted by the fact that you're now making them for money. That, of course, intersects with the premise of the article. I think the idea of following one's passion as a means of obtaining financial security is generally oversold (though clearly not impossible). As soon as you add the financial factor, the enjoyment can be sucked out of it. For one, you're not doing it in the way you might if not for the need to monetize. Secondly, you find yourself doing all kinds of stuff that are decidedly not your passion (administrivia, marketing, etc.) Anyway, good luck!
