Some people are passionate about their jobs and some people just do it as a means to an end. There is nothing wrong with being in the later group and I say that as someone with ~20 years in the software space and never opens an ide at home.
I’ve always thought the best way to kill a hobby was to turn it into a job. I won’t speak to if you should or shouldn’t change roles, there are a huge amount of factors to consider there, I’ll just say that not everyone who is successful in development is a guru, ninja, in it for the love, kind of person.
