I starting learning how to program just to "see if I could do it". Once I became a good enough to code anything I wanted, programming became boring. There was really no satisfaction in coding something that I already knew how to do. I think the trick is to keep finding problems that you don't know how to accomplish, and would like to learn/hack a solution. For me, I eventually started trying to tackle problems from a completely new approach, it got me really excited, and I am now developing my own programming language and start-up around it. And now I have never been more interested in programming in my life. I am completely fascinated with boolean logic and number theory and spend way too much time reading Wikipedia articles on a wide range of nerdy things. Programming became fun again because I was learning again.
