Ask HN: 10 years experience, 200 resumes, almost zero responses. Do I give up?

No idea what I'm doing wrong. Nobody is even calling me. I've had a hard time finding a good long term job. Employment lengths: 1 year 3 years 3.5 years 6 month contract 13 months 3 months I think that is what's screwing me despite the fact that I actually am a good developer. I asked a recruiter if I had anything obviously wrong on my resume and he said no. He also said software developer hiring has been relatively unaffected by coronavirus. I've applied locally and for remote positions. I'm getting totally ignored. I'm about to give up and start doing something blue collar. I'm stuck doing gig work. I could be doing so much more for society than this. I have a product I want to sell but can't scrape up a thousand dollars to get it to market. So instead of innovating or working as a software developer I'm delivering fast food all day long just to survive. I have experience as a professional full stack developer. I have a bachelor's degree in software development. I'm being ignored by almost everyone. Do I give up software development? Where else can I go that is better than finding some random blue collar thing on Craigslist?
