In the past, I stopped coding a fair few times simply because I didn't see any benefit to it. Everything I wanted to do on my sites already had an off the shelf solution that simply worked a lot better than any home made equivalent likely would have. So I just stopped and used the already made one (for things like a CMS, blogs, wikis, forums, etc).
And it's also kind of why I stopped again and again. Because I just can't find coding fun in itself, there's always got to be an 'incentive' or 'use' for what I'm learning. Every time I'd consider doing something interesting, I'd end up thinking 'what exactly am I going to use this for?' then stop again.
Maybe I'm just not imaginative enough.
