This may not be too helpful right now but if you have a genuine enjoyment and love of programming and software you will probably be ok in the end. I have noticed recently a trend that I last saw in 1999/2000/2001 (when I was headed to first year university in 2001) where huge numbers of people look to be interested in entering the field, there's the rise of bootcamps for example, but the reasons are not necessarily 'wholesome' let's say and possibly because the job situation in other industries is getting worse. If people are only doing this for the money they will fizzle out, as did happen after 2001/2002, you've got to love this stuff genuinely to keep going and find your place. I remember in that era that the University of Toronto built a new computer science and information technology building (Bahen Center) because of the huge influx of CS undergrads, however soon after it was built, there were far fewer candidates:-)

My original 'passion' in the industry came from video games, and I have worked in the games industry for a while, but my 'passion' has since grown to encompass software in general. You may be competing with a lot of people right now and these companies are employing ridiculous interview techniques to cut the fat but perhaps ending up over doing it. I've never stopped writing code, but some of these people interviewing will take the first opportunity to switch to a non-coding role like business analyst and i think the interviewers want to ensure your interest in coding is genuine.
