I don't really have advice for your larger problem, aside from perhaps looking for work outside of the software industry proper. All sorts of other industries need devs, and not all of them are looking for (or willing to pay for) "10x" devs. I did want to comment on this, though: > there's the AI-replacing-devs doom and gloom going around. There is a lot of talk and fear on this, yes. But personally, I think this is greatly overblown. AI may change the way devs work, but we're very far from it replacing them in any significant way. That's at least one worry that I recommend you put out of mind. Even if it is a risk, it's not a near-term one.
