Almost 2 years ago I quit my job and joined a coding bootcamp. After the course was over and I was set free to into the job market, it felt bleak. Sooo many applications, not even a single response from a recruiter or anything.

In my downtime I just focused on coding and working on fun projects to keep my skills fresh & boost my github portfolio. in the end I got 1 interview, they were impressed by a solo project I'd done (it was relevant for the position), and I've been working for them ever since (9 months).

it can feel hopeless at times but don't give up the fight, work on personal projects, add that shit to your resume. you'll eventually get a bite

I've been running into this all morning: [BAD_HTTP_STATUS: 403] Potential causes: IP block, streaming URL deciphering failed or music video geo-block

Switching VPN servers doesn't resolve.

edit: Keep an eye on this Github Issue It looks like they are aware of the problem, will likely see a fix for it in the coming hours/days.
