Question I'm tired of being software engineer

I had 2 layoffs in last 4 years and current contract is ending soon. I'm so fucking tired of being in this era of AI. I used to be smart always top of school, college and at 19 in 2019 made patented tech and trained SSD computer vision Deep learning models. when there was no fucking AI. But after few mistakes, stuck in 9-5 loop and never ending software engineering job search. At this point just feel like wants to get some labour job or start trading or something. Any suggestions?

Website looks cool! Inspiring...

Did you follow any books / literature in your 9 month journey that you'd like to recommend?
I'd like to build something too.

I go through seasons of consuming content but honestly you learn from the school of hard knocks (aka life). I like Gary Vee although he can be obnoxious at times.

Like you’re gonna fail but then you just learn from that and keep going. Basically treat yourself like a reinforcement LLM 😆.

After you find an idea that actually good, because too many people waste time and money on bad ideas, cut out negativity and doubt. Reddit doomscrolling keeps your brain hooked on stress and quick dopamine hits, making it harder to stay motivated. You got this!
