Until the last few months, the ratio was stupendous: ~$300/hr

I've been working on upgrading the technology and business model. It's a risk and I think I'll fail...

What are you working on? Hopefully learning a new technology is worth the investment?

Just boring enterprise software. Yes, the new technology makes me more valuable in the job market but other than that, I think I'm just getting old as I see choice of technology as bikeshedding these days.

Amen to that, but unfortunately if you want to stay employable as a dev, you have to :( .
