I think this is one of my favorite Ask HN's. Just, yay.
Unfortunately, I have to write my thoughts quickly, because otherwise I will not be able to write them at all. Got some things to do :)
When I get to this stage, I can get self destructive. It sounds like you're heading down that path with the negative framing.
I don't know if any of what I say will make sense.
First: negative framing. Commit to positivity. Commit - spiritually, if that makes sense to you - fully, to the idea that everyone is contributing, and can contribute at your level.
Second: communicate (positively). Figure out a way to communicate your concerns to your colleagues in a non-judgemental way. (shit, this is inadequate)
Third: challenge. It sounds like you're not being challenged anymore. Same framework, same issues. This is actually a really bad thing. It means that once this context is obsolete, your finely-honed abilities might be obsolete. Take it from a guy who got his start as a Flash developer, you need some challenge. This could be something else than development, though: start a business, move to a different country, throw massive parties (what I did). Find a challenge that's hard and meet it.
Good luck! I'd love to chat about it more. Contact info in bio. Sorry I could not write a longer letter.
