I promised myself I would never use this word in this context... but that was a "savage" answer. Good on you, sir. I feel the same way. I lost my passion for tech a long time ago.
But I would argue that's a good thing. It's kind of like a marriage. Yes, you have an intense passion early on, but at some point that fades. In a successful marriage, you move from being a lover to a partner in life.
The same goes with many things in life. A healthy progression is that you are passionate about something early on and eventually move toward finding your groove in that field. You derive satisfaction not from intense bursts of immediate gratification but from the long-term benefits of maintaining and improving your knowledge and ability in that area of interest.
Sidenote: I've been married for 22 years. I'm still not an expert, but I'm working on it. ;-)
