I use AI as a tool and it is nice. Using it for longer made it clear to me that it cannot replace developers. Perhaps that time will come, but even the most advanced AIs still struggle with basic logic. You can test this with a good IQ test as well, provided it is distinct enough for the AI not to recognize it. That said, have you tried to apply to industry positions? Not the software industry, I meant the industry in general. They are always looking for engineers and that includes software to a large portion today. I think the bar for your tech stack is as high because there are many in that field. Even I do use node, JS, vue and I do develop software for embedded devices and process automation... Sure, I know much less than a dedicated web developer, but still, I think I could debug my way through JS hell. You probably won't make as much as some SV grunt in software monkey prison, but it still pays a lot and the work is interesting. You also have the warm fuzzy feeling of doing something that matters. Often that is lacking in many pure software projects. This is just my ignorance for the most part, but still, I like the fuzzy feeling.
