That's no panacea. I worked for a social service non-profit for years. Yes, some stuff was better, there were still tons of issues.

#16If you have been coding for 8 years and don't have marketable skills you are either naive/insecure or doing something very very wrong. In either case, this job is clearly not healthy for you in several different ways
I've been doing full-stack Dev (mostly Django though I foolishly had a brief moment where I kinda thought Flask was okay then fell for the same dumb thing briefly with FastAPI) for 20+ years and don't feel marketable. I went from jQuery to a brief dalliance with Angular to HTMX+_HyperScript. Everyone wants full stack Devs to use react and struggle eternally with insane dependency trees and challenging client side sta…
I'm full stack for 19 years and I love React, and I've been laid off for 1.5 years now. This is a terrible job market right now.
That doesn't mean you don't have good skills, it just means that too many people have them. It happens from time to time in every industrial, for all skills.
Obviously, I don't have any good advice about how to deal with it.

#17Your company is laying people off because they need something to do. They’re goalless in the extreme and relying on big talk and big action about the latest fad. You don’t have leaders, you have owners. You must look around and see the lack of men, and force yourself to become one.

What exactly does this mean?

You mean you haven't been working for 1 1/2 years? How do you buy food?

#20I feel Your pain. And I have a advice: take a deep breath and leave. Because burn-out is real, because there is nothing that can compensate damages of Your mental health.
You are still a human. You are intelligent. Yes - you are, this is demonstrated by the ability to think critically and independence of your views. So - You are capable to adapt into new environment and into new tech. Search for anything and switch job. Don't wait for a toxic environment to destroy your confidence.
