With all the layoffs and general anxiety about what's next, I’m seriously overworking myself. I’m scared that if I don’t, I’ll get let go and never find anything else in this field. If you recently went through a job search, how long did it actually take?

I feel like I am missing out on learning opportunities because my teammate rewrites my code instead of reviewing it. If this is something you've experienced, how did you handle it?

Is there anyone else who experiences age-based discrimination at work? I'm in my mid-20s, and have been working with seniors who think I'm still too junior to understand complex tasks. I definitely have the expertise, but I can't seem to change their perception. How can I convince others that my skill level is more important than my age?

​I previously worked at a credit union where software developer salaries were way under market ($50k–$60k), prompting me to leave and triple my income. ​I later discovered that the chief of technology hired a former developer and close friend as a remote, part-time contractor at a triple-digit hourly rate. This individual maintains a separate full-time job and works completely flexible hours, 20-40 hours. ​This feels like blatant cronyism. Is there any recourse?

Anyone else in their 40s facing assumptions about their skills in interviews? I keep getting asked if I'm "comfortable with modern tools," which feels like a polite way of questioning my age. Is it even appropriate for them to be asking?
