It is pretty sad that development is kinda over. I’m not really sure what I’m gonna do as a software developer.

Don’t worry.

You will be reemployed as a code doctor to fix insecure, inefficient or non-functional code in about six months.

In the meantime, you can use your creative meat-brain to develop exploits and cash in on bug bounties.
