Tech market feels like a data entry job

4•Gravyness•3h ago
I spent two hours every day filling my resume data to freshly developed forms made specifically to the hiring process of one or two companies.

I have a good resume, worked well for a few years before AI, and know it has got a lot harder to land a development gig. I've worked with modern stuff like AI-generated briefs for our meetings, for our bug logs, even for our Q.A. team email replies. Hell, there was an Agent dedicated to verifying how well our code was written at my last job, so I feel like I've kept up with the innovations.

But I have no idea how to land a job in development anymore. Literally, I've asked Gemini "what can I improve?" - I've asked my friends and they feel a similar cenario, except those who were loyal to a company until now.

I've worked over 5 years remotely but I started applying to local jobs because I've given up on competing with the whole world (Although I did work for Silicon Valley companies before) since I don't feel confident anymore.

I ask you what are your thoughts on this. I could build a computer from stick and stones but I am completely useçes

Why remote roles are becoming extinct in 2026?
