As others have said, it depends on what you mean by hobby and the reason for it.
If it is a hobby project that you intend to make into a commercial product, stay focused, get to MVP and make sure you aren't burning effort on something that people don't want to pay for.
If it is to learn something, e.g. how to write a game, make the goals really small. Once I have learned how to move the player a bit, do I really need to perfect it?
Is it just the fun of programming? Use coding sites to compare different languages/frameworks.
You can introduce hardware to make it more fun, e.g. programming a small robot via a RaspPi or a microcontroller.
Don't beat yourself up, maybe the journey is OK but it sounds like you have a destination in-mind so focus on the outcome and chat with others to find out if there is a quicker way to at least get to the first staging post/MVP.
As others have said, if it is for no particular reason and you've stopped enjoying it, just stop it. No harm, no foul!
