Were there computers for which core dumps were a physical process?

Context: I'm a web / JavaScript / full-stack developer. In my first few positions, I was the stereotypical young arrogant / insecure junior developer, and I was rightfully purged. Since then, I've worked on being a better teammate and a reliable developer. Still, after several dozen interviews this year, I am unable to find work in the SF/Bay Area. Now, I'm out of resource and doing Udacity code reviews and Lyft to make ends meet.

How do I pull out of this rut and get back to having a somewhat stable job? I really miss working with smart and passionate people. I miss getting to write code. I miss talking with users about features I've shipped and am shipping. But I seem unable to turn resumé's into interviews, and the interviews I do get, I can't seem to turn into offers. When I had little experience, it was easy to feel confident and capable during interviews. Now that I've been repeatedly humbled, I struggle to sell myself.

If anyone needs a cheap node.js / javascript / react / python developer, I'm all ears.
