I know I -- and would guess many others -- have had these same ideas

It doesn't seem to work -- not sure why

Prob just hard to get thru

Maybe try to be super over the top on your resume and cover letter and see what happens

I AM WILLING TO WORK FOR $65K/YR FOR A 40-HR WORK WEEK.

last time I tried to take a lesser job to de-stress it almost killed me, so I'm not sure this type of thing can work outside special companies like

4-day work week companies

Nonprofits

Smaller family-oriented companies like smaller web agencies that pay a fraction of what a typical megacorp would pay

I wish it were that easy lol. But then you always get the actual bad jobs flooding you for cheap work (and the good jobs always think it's like a joke).

Good ideas, I honestly have been waiting for job postings to open up at the local library since that would be nice enough too but I really like SWE work and want to stay, just like you know, in a "de-stress" way while stilling having the structure, connections, and growth environment that the high pay jobs maintain.
