That's great but isn't a site that must be statically built and deployed to add a new page a niche use case for todays web? You can't use it for a site like HN, a content hub, a social media site, so many use cases that rely

Apply to lots of places, be honest about your experience. You might have to take less money for a year or two but you are still young. The first job is by far the hardest but the challenge of interviews never goes away because as you get mo
