I cannot reconcile that someone would simply "stop learning" because "the tool does all he or she needs"... I think it's more about being unable to discover any more.
I don't think I'd ever stop learning because I'm content with my knowledge and it's all I need. I think I might get stuck not discovering new interests because of my own limitations or that of my limited environment.
However it's also true that you can have different interests and those be unrelated to programming. It just sounds wrong to me somehow, since programming is so all-inclusive and so practical for virtually any field.
