It seems like you've become so convoluted by 4chan lingo that you perpetually don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Google was venture funded but it's now a large public company. Arguably the largest by market cap in the world (right next to another tech company). It's not a startup.
I'm teaching myself software development and I personally have no desire to go with the freelancing route -- especialy if I had the opportunity to work at the company in your pic. I'd move to the bay area (I already live here), get a job at a solid startup with a solid engineering team and improve my skills.
Silicon is kill the tech bubble 2.0 has already burst

The startup ecosystem is built on investor money and funds are still very active.
Basically you're wrong.

We are done with aggressive vc spending. The 2010's edition of pets.com was a swarm of "facebook for X" or the "airbnb of y"
The twitters, Lyfts, solar city's and other various over valued shit machines aren't sexy and they have set unreasonable profit potential expectations. Most have never turned a profit and they never will. The bubble may not burst but it's deflating.
Basically you're naive.

The funds don't have to close for the bubble to have burst.
They're raising capital but not doing anything with it. The whole bubble is based on VCs giving out shittons of money for stupid, unworkable ideas. When the VCs realised after a few years that they were just chucking money down the toilet instead of finding the next Facebook, they became more bearish, which has slowly let the air out of the bubble, rather than a catastrophic pop like the dotcom bubble
