Based on their post history[1], I would wager the poster’s job prospects have dried up due to their own circumstances rather than the state of the devops hiring market. They also claimed to be job hopping every six months during the pandemic.

My employment history has been a mess of 6 month gigs since the start of the pandemic. I'd say it was just me due to additional circumstances but I did a poll of my LI network to see if anyone else was feeling it, most everyone said they were. Surprised some on HN aren't but these are additional data points to consider.
