Don't clean up anything. Just apply for the next 5 development jobs you see. See if you make it to the interview and how that goes. That will help you understand where you stand. Also see that other post on imposter syndrome above :) Y

Everyone will work in new jobs that are not yet automated. It is the fundamental of capitalism that we will find new ways to earn money (because we have to). I have no data on this, but I wouldn't be surprised if more than 50% of the j
