Not that it matters, I’ve been a developer for 15 years and unemployed for the last 18 months. There are no jobs right now, and it doesn’t seem like there’s going to be any anytime soon.

    I've been in industry for 10 years, got let go and have also been unemployed. The industry is terrible right now. I'm looking to career switch because I'd rather make less money doing something I love than continue to put a paycheck above my morals.

    My hope is that after the bubble pops, the engineers who haven't had their brains rotted away by AI tools become much more valuable

    Which is weird because I have an opening for multiple devs yet all I’m getting are bots.

    Where?!? We recently moved to the largest city in my state and I still haven’t had any better luck. I’ve applied to over 150 jobs and had two interviews 14 months apart… I had a recruiter tell me that they’ve only had a couple jobs go by their desk in the last few months, and each of them was for a very very specific software stack. And the worst part is that the amount of spam calls that I get tell me that half of these jobs have just been honey pots.

    Developers are not computer scientists.

    There's software engineering degrees with less math reqs if you just want to be a code monkey

    I honestly don’t know what you’re trying to say here. There really isn’t other degrees in software, MIS for instance is a degree in IT. My degree is in computer science with a minor in math.
