I don't get it.
You're unemployed now, right?
Now, I can understand someone with a trade (i.e. a programmer) not particularly wanting to take shelf-stacking or burger-flipping work, but to be inflexible on salary?
In this financial and economic climate? That's a recipe for being unemployed for a long time.
FWIW, I'd flip burgers rather than do nothing.
The thing you need to realise - and that which you seem singularly impervious to - is that all the feedback you're getting here, hurtful and unpleasant as it may be, is the kind of advice that is absolutely priceless because anyone who's got any kind of contractual arrangement with you, be it colleague or employer, won't give it for fear of all sorts of litigatishit.
So man the fuck up, take responsibility for your situation, and start working on positive things that will move you forward.
