I'm netting < $10 an hour doing part-time full stack dev at an ultra-small organization for a few years post-BSCS.

Fear of resume gaps and the current job market have me afraid to renegotiate. In fact, they're going to cut my hours soon, which makes it seem like they can only afford ~$150 a week.

I'm getting worse at programming and there's no one to learn from.

What do you think I should do?

I think the answer is obvious. Start looking for another job NOW. Work is out there, if you can code.
