There’s all kind of dev work that needs to be done in industries that aren’t “tech first”, for example a industrial machine manufacture needs someone to program the robot arms and gui - ai doesn’t know how the brand new machine works.
Commercial buildings have all kinds of systems; lighting controllers, audio systems, HVAC, networks, security systems and so on. All of that needs both someone to program the device (and firmware support) and someone to physically deploy and integrate those systems.
It’s pretty hard to avoid corporate hell. Some people find success in smaller, well established, private companies. Less corporate nonsense, or at least HR knows your name and there’s no investors demanding a mass-layoff.
My suggestion is to find something where you’re on-staff for a company that exists outside of the “digital” realm.
