UC is typically capped at offensively low absolute dollar amounts. For low wage workers it's a decent percentage, for tech workers, especially developers, it's unlikely to be enough to cover your day-to-day bills. I haven't utilized it since the 00's but back then it was capped at something like $700 or $800 per week in my state.

It's been too long to edit, but I just went back and looked. I claimed for a few months in 2009 and it was capped at $675 per 2-week pay period, so about $18k/yr.
