How is it possible no one wants to hire you? You seem way more competent than many devs out there and you've created a 10k stars github project among others.
I sometimes wonder whether SDE employment is inversely proportional to how popular a person is... it’s not like employer is looking for a rock star to sit and fix issues all day long for years. The person will lose interest in two weeks and quit.
I don't get it either. Every team around me at big tech company is clamorong and desperately trying to hire SDEs. All my friends, even the self taught ones with history degrees from second tier schools, has no problem getting hired.
I have trouble understanding these threads, I of course believe these people, but it's so different than my observation.
Everyone is interviewing, no one hiring due to current fashion. If you don't have contacts inside a company, there's perhaps a 1% chance of getting hired.
The only other way in is to have "nerves of steel" and get lucky in the interview, where the random coding exercise is one you have recently practiced. They will attribute these two factors to you being a good hire, a connection that is tenuous at best.
