I think we are simply seeing mean reversion from the previous far from equilibrium state. I am a terrible programmer but probably could have BSed my way into a jr front end role with enough effort circa 2019. The reason I didn't is exactly because of right now. I would be unemployed and chasing dev jobs with zero chance of landing. Instead I was learning Julia today with the help of language models because I can stretch out and explore with not needing a job. Right now is just the shake out of the pretender software engineers like I would have been. People like you will be fine. People like me should be doing something else anyway.
