> Got a CS degree a decade ago, haven't been able to find a programming jobs since (I don't know Java or C#, learned some esoteric languages called C and C++ nobody is hiring for.)

I am really sorry to have to say this but if after a decade and not able to land a programming job, it is probably not your technical skills holding you back. Getting through bootcamp may not help at all.

Again, really sorry to have to say it

What are programmers supposed to do, then?? I can't get a job in food service. Are we just supposed to... fade away.

Why did I take two years of Calculus in high school and then take college CS courses before I graduated? This is a serious question.

Why don't you publicised your work to get it better known, even sharing a link here might help?

I would say to request some frank and honest questions from your family and close friends about your job situation, and act upon them. Not that I am saying you are not doing them, but you have to act upon them, that is the real key.

email in my profile if you want to connect more.

edit: clarity and grammar.
