I'm roughly the same age as yourself and just got laid off last week, so I'm a bit early in my search but I'm experiencing the same things you've mentioned - quick, seemingly automated rejections with no feedback at all on why. I'm fully expecting the search to take a while, possibly months.

You didn't mention it in your post, but are you only looking for remote roles or roles in your city? You might have more luck if you broadened the search geographically, assuming moving is a viable option for you at this time. Also consider roles in more traditional industries like finance, insurance etc. - the work + stack might not be as glamorous and most likely won't pay FAANG level salaries (some hedge funds notwithstanding, perhaps), but it's something to consider.
