I think type can change, but I would wonder more if the change is
happening due to adaptation, not because your fundamental self has
changed. I certainly don't always act as an ENFP, but the more I think
about it, the more comfortable I am with ENFP being my natural self.
Sure, as a programmer, there's a lot of need to act as an ISTJ, but I've
realized that even when I am working by myself, I still use a
conversational approach to working out problems. I'll write a bunch of
code, and then look at it, and decide if it still represents what I
want. When I am debugging a problem, I come up with an idea which might
be the problem, and then test it (rather than many programmers who have
to single step through the code, perfectly understanding what happened
at each step to feel comfortable with what is going on.
