Coding isn't always compensated. Open source projects thrive because of the work of developers that don't get paid in most cases. That doesn't stop them (although it's probably because they do other work and can spare time and money).

My point is that both, art and coding, don't require compensation. Many people do both for the sake of it.

That doesn't mean they don't deserve compensation (in the form of donations). They do, most than any other.
