Do not give up guys, be persistent. I am 58yo and have been 26 years out of the software business. It took me about two years of practicing and two to five applications every few weeks to get hired as a full-stack dev in 2024. Tech stack: JS/TS, Angular, Stencil, PHP, Symfony, SQL.

@@rod6722 I have just responded to job offers on commonly known job markets as well as social media. To fight age discrimination, remember, I am 58yo, I replaced my resume by a short profile highlighting >10 years of experience as a developer, >20 years as an entrepreneur, xx years regarding specific technologies, … without mentioning any specific dates.
