Right now, you need a guaranteed paycheck, not a speculative project.

A side hustle might replace your income one day, but it won’t move fast enough to solve a six-month rent deficit. Focus 100% of your energy on securing a job first; once your housing is stable, you can use your off-hours to build that $10k idea.

In general yes, but there are no regular jobs now. Only gaslit interviews, if you can even get a response.
Are you talking about tech jobs, or -any- job?

If you are six months behind on rent, you just go find a job cleaning shit and fatbergs out of sewers if that's what is available IMO.

Tech jobs gaslight. You would be surprised, was recently ghosted on a local job, $700 a month in CA to sweep a large apt complex. Restaurants don’t respond either.

The fewer skills required the more people you need to compete with.
