Ask HN: Why did you quit learning programming?

Maybe, HN is not the best place for this question, but something tells me there will be interesting stories behind it. I saw a lot of people I knew start learning how to program. They did it in all sorts of ways: free courses, paid courses, books, schools, etc. Almost all of them quit within weeks or months. An interesting observation was to hear them describing why they quit too abstractly, too broadly. "I didn't like it." "Couldn't make the time to learn." "Too hard." Things like that. I've always felt that there's so much more behind those answers. So much we could learn about why programming is so hard to enter, apart from the inherent domain complexity. What's your story, or that of someone you've seen quit?
