I'm kind of glad it's a dumpster fire right now. If I got a job like I had in the past I wouldn't have decided to go down a different path. I'm going back to school to complete premed requirements and apply to medical school next year. I'm working as a medical assistant and training for EMT. I'm much happier than I would be as a web developer. There are tech jobs that would have interested me but I'd still rather be a doctor anyway, not that that is guaranteed. I did some open source Rust and learned some AI but you really have to show devotion through unpaid work to secure those positions, or get lucky.
