Actually the same thing happened to me but with making a game. I did become a good programmer, but here's the big problem: I tried to make it for like 3-4+ years and I just... couldn't. I sat down this year and hammered out what I actually wanted and worked towards finishing it and actually got to an 'MVP' state where everything works and... I just don't care anymore. The drive is completely gone.
This is after years of focusing on solely that, 3-4 hours a day every day, telling people I was making it and now I don't care. This might be why my writing has consumed me a bit, or maybe starting to write and realizing how much I love it has killed all drive to make a game.
It hurts, but I am sick of staring at script scenes and thinking how to make systems work and all of that. It exhausts me to think about it for even a few seconds, frustration taking over as I think 'God that would be a pain in the ass'.
I'm happy I know more about how games work, but I'll never finish mine.
