If nobody will hire me, should I turn to crime to pursue a career in programming? I ask because if there's no legal entry-level jobs due to the oversaturation, I might have to go underground for it.

Presumably, you have a 4 year CS degree, and not just some certificates from a certificate mill.

You realize any criminal organization you would want to go to work for as an alternative to a legitimate job, will want everything a legitimate job would want, plus some tradecraft, and an ability to not get caught on top of everything else, right?

Because you did not squander your internships, this also means that you have:

Does the fact that the Ukraine war wasn’t ended in 24 hours like Trump promised mean that he either lied or was too dumb to understand that it is more complicated?

If I’m not willing to hire you for my legitimate business, I sure as heck will not be willing to hire you for my criminal enterprise.

You now have at least a small personal business network, and a network through your academics, within your CS department, which you can leverage to find your first post-graduation job

Have you considered military service?

You asked for a formal performance review equivalent AFTER getting the letters of recommendation

You took those performance reviews to heart, and aimed some of your school curriculum at addressing any areas where your performance was less than stellar, and kept notes, so now you have KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), both where you fell short in each internship,and a list of what you did to address your shortcomings

Minimally, this would mean an internship after your first, second, and third years, which is almost a years worth of job experience.

Is it ok if I wear a bonnet as a person with straight hair? I used to have curly hair, but later on in life I got it treated, I’m not black, but my hair keeps getting frizzy every morning so I am considering it. Is it cultural appropriation?

One or more letters of recommendation from one or more supervisors in each internship

If you don’t have all of these things set up already… why the hell not?!?

I suspect that unless your criminal activity involves something other than computers, you will have a hard time finding work as a criminal, as well.
