"I'm still looking for work".."was basically just servicing a shitty monolith built in Ruby"
I hope you take this a a constructive criticism. Most dev jobs are shitty monolith in <replace with a old tested server side language>. If you are unemployed, especially if you are umemployed, you need to get a bit more humble and forget about latest shiny tech. Find a company/team that is solving real problems and then go make a difference for them. Tech stack is a nice to have but don't expect it always to be the shiniest.
