I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I've felt this at two jobs now. One is the role I'm currently in, and one was a few jobs back.
I've felt that I've been turning from the sort of person who likes helping people out and working on my own projects to the office grump who has nothing good to say anymore.
It's not necessarily you nor necessarily your job. If you're not a good fit, it's ok to think about moving on. Unless you're stuck because you need the money and there's nowhere else, you always have a choice. If it's the right time to move on, just move on. Don't feel bad about it - your company won't feel bad about it beyond the time it takes to source a replacement and get them up to speed.
Not everyone can find a vocation, and it's totally ok to want to change your role in the world. I'm pretty sure we all feel like this from time to time.

Yes.
