I have a friend who graduated with a CS degree in '17. Since then he's sporadically looked for work in the field but not found any, and has worked as a supervisor. His coding skills have atrophied substantially.

I've been encouraging him to grind leetcode and apply for at least 10 jobs a day, I'm not sure how much hes really doing.

Is there any chance of him finding work? Would taking a bootcamp help him? At this point I'm considering advising him to move on.

My wife sent me a long read today which contains alot. The lines that struck the most was where she said "I'm 1000% sure you do not love me, I know you want to but don't" she thinks I just love the love she has for me and she's accepted that fact. Also she said she's not asking for divorce "this is not to say I'm asking for divorce Big NO".
I noticed withdrawal and some comments from her of late which led to me asking a couple of questions, upon which she responded this morning. Any advice?
