I decided to get out of development and go for more of an Ops role - officially I started as DevOps, but have slowly moved into the company's SysAdmin role, which I enjoy much, much more than writing code, and there is plenty for me to do. Basically, I took a step back and asked myself what I would enjoy doing. Where I am, I got carte blanche to build the systems as I wanted (new company, startup) so I've got the opportunity to build things I've often thought would be possible. Granted, such jobs are few and far between, and for the most part jobs do involve a lot of pre-existing code and infrastructure. But maybe you could find a job bringing the legacy architecture into the 21st century rather than just keeping it ticking along?
