I am coming to believe that I am part of the workers displaced by LLMs. Been looking for a job for a year now and even slashing my salary expectations by half doesn't help. I am curious and still tinker on things I am interested about, but having an actual paying job seems so far from my reality now that I am more inclined on giving up. People here complain while having a job, but please think about us who are struggling and be mindful.

Are you still trying for remote? A few years ago when I was down bad and RTO was starting, I found that remote was near impossible to negotiate for “normal” devs even with such extreme concessions.
