A student at my dojo is falling down, enough to borrow $20 from me at this time.
He used to be a webdev and made good money, but not good enough. So he moved and became an Uber driver (around 2018 or so). At the time, he was shoveling money. However, the gig crashed during the pandemic. Instead of latching on any job immediately, he procrastinated because he had savings.
Today, he's got a huge gap in the resume, which really hampers his prospects. I don't think the technology has moved all that much. We still use Node and React. I'm in OS and filesystems, so I don't know, but I think the problem is more of getting a foot in the door again.
What would you guys do if you were in this situation?
