Your problem is using recruiters. There’s a shitload of remote jobs available. Just look at HN Who’s Hiring.

Also drop the CI/tests attitude. Many modern startups don’t bother with security-theater either.

I sent out plenty of resumes with nice cover letters to jobs I felt overqualified for over the 4 months I was just looking, and had maybe one response.. from a recruiter.

But I worked with a recruiter for a few of those months and they got me to a few final rounds. I think having a proper recruiter, who knows the hiring manager, is pretty powerful. Them shaving whatever % of the top is lame but it's better than being unemployed.
