I find that computers (and programming) are best viewed as means to an end than as the end all be-all. The real point should be building something. It could be a novel or a table or a web app and it can be made of software or wood or musical notes or whatever. It is the building of things that's the important thing for me. I find that software is a pretty good way to build things due to its inherant low barrier to entry and ease of distribution. But it is by means the only way hackers can hack. Try building other things, or even just other software things.

tl;dr: Try to build other stuff.
