I feel this pretty hard. I got fired last July and spent 8 months straight applying for about 10-20 jobs a week.
I have a degree in programming as well. It took my 6 years to even get a programming job even though I graduated top of my class. I've pretty much since given up and am hoping to get a freelance web developer thing going here in the next few months after a bit more work on some things.
My angle is that if we are having this issue others are too and after the AIpocalypse, everyone is gonna do their own crafty or handyman business thing since they won't have corpo jobs either so I can make them sites.

Or at least that's my daydream.
In any case, solidarity ✊
This makes sense and seems right. I just wish I knew if the Alpacalypse was like next year or next century. 🦙
