i get by as an software developer, but it sucks that i won't ever be able to become "good" or be a 10x. i simply dont have the attention span and capacity to.

You do not suck at it. Bad software engineers make major mistakes and/or are impossible to work with and get fired within short order.

You just started man. Are you expecting to be a wizard from the get go? That does not happen. Shit takes practice, time, patience and lots of learning.

Stay hungry. Get something to learn on udemy to get gooder. Give it time and take it easy. Do no underestimate your capabilities, even retards can get pretty far.

Do you have professional experience outside of your degrees? Is there a career counselor at you school you can show your resume to? They can help tighten it up and make it more appealing to the HR robots. Maybe check out opportunities in Austin too, easier market than the valley.

your thesis doesnt mean shit tbqh. focus more on your projects and make sure they are using modern tech. applying to other cities could work, but frankly if you arent having luck in the literal epicenter of tech you've got other problems. if i had to guess your resume and your projects fucking suck.
