MODERATORS
Don't confuse a bad work environment with not liking or being suitable for your job.
If you liked programming, do your work in the way that made you originally liked programming. People will put pressure on you to just "do things". Don't. Ensure you start understanding, slowly get more insight into what's going on. Ask the people around you any and all questions you need to get more understanding. Allow yourself to learn. That is the only way to start feeling in control, and the only way to become 'more senior'.
That being said. If you want to move on, there's no harm, and no shame. Just do it because you'll be doing something you know you will like better.
