I got laid off at the beginning of March, and the job hunt is fucking brutal. I’m a software engineer with 20+ years of experience, and it’s just all AI now.

If you did that and then landed another job in software part way through/after qualifying, it wouldn’t be a waste of time, right? Because you’d still have skills for use on your own projects
