Yea agree, the job market isn't difficult due to AI. Its difficult because big tech overhired massively for years, making it seem like there was demand for this many developers. Turns out if a field is somewhat saturated and the big tech corps lay off a lot of people the market gets difficult. Ill enjoy my current employment for as long as possible and hopefully the market will be better once I am looking for a job again.

I use my time off to learn a ton about Erlang/Elixir in the hopes of maybe entering the BEAM domain some day. Way less competition compared to Javascript Python devs.
