Feel stuck in an unideal position (programming.dev)

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?

No idea on the current market myself. You should absolutely start looking at the rate you are being paid right now though. Just don't get discouraged about the resume gap, it's a rare field where you can make your own backfill for those gaps.
