Start looking for a new job immediately. As a developer you need 2 things from a job. An opportunity to increase your salary, and opportunities to increase your skills as a developer. I started out at a web shop, I spent roughly 4 years there, and the learning stopped after the first year. Web shops are not about creating great solutions, they are about creating good enough custom solutions because web shops by nature are service based companies. Find yourself a nice little SaaS company where you respect the developers and are given opportunities to create clean maintainable code, and explore different technologies. Otherwise you will just be spending the next few years of your career playing find the broken inline sql query and the only thing you will learn is defensive programming.
