I’m netting < $10 an hour doing part-time full stack dev at an ultra-small organization for a few years post-BSCS.

Fear of resume gaps and the current job market have me afraid to renegotiate. In fact, they’re going to cut my hours soon, which makes it seem like they can only afford ~$150 a week.

I’m getting worse at programming and there’s no one to learn from.

What do you think I should do?

    Start applying! You say your hours may be cut, be applying to places in the hours you would’ve been working. Even if you’re not try to apply to at least one place per day after work. LinkedIn is a good place to get recruiters come to you. I think you should be making quite a bit more with a Bachelor’s in Computer Science. It sounds like you’re being taken advantage of or you don’t know your worth.
