I've managed to avoid becoming a manager
Still coding, Still enjoying it. I'm 50 tomorrow, so I've been doing it professionally for 29 years.

The downside is I'm probably too old to get another similar job if this one goes tits up...

Also, I can't actually remember the last time I did any coding for fun. Oh, wait, I tell a lie: a few years ago I wrote an image generator for my Baird-style televisor.

I don't think I've ever done coding for fun since I did it for work.
I do like spending a lot of time in the pub, to be fair.

I even started writing a Windows Mobile Phone app for a change of scenery.
Got bored half way through my first one.

I find having a worthwhile idea is the hardest part.
If someone says 'make this' I can usually do it no problem.

Maybe I just lack imagination.
