I appreciate your perspective here. There is an element of whining and negativity among job-seekers lately. I've seen some people buckle down and hustle, and I've seen others give up in frustration. The truth of this is that there are going to be a lot of people who never even get to use their CS degrees, and there will be people who "win" and get jobs like this without one. It boils down to what you can do and whether or not a company in your area finds value in it.
It's not fair. It's just what we have to deal with.
