First up: chin up, you’re doing great. Please understand that you aren’t the first person to get fired, and most of us have been there and it’s not the end of the world.
If you’re worried about references, understand that most companies won’t do anything beyond confirming your employment dates. This is for liability as well as bridge-burning reasons: it turns out that technology is a small world, and that the person you badmouth today can be commercially viable decision maker somewhere else tomorrow.
Get your TripleByte/Leetcoder/whatever profile in order. Talk to those recruiters. You got this.

Can’t emphasize this enough. When you’re the one in the soup it FEELS awful, but when you recover (and you will!) and get some distance, you’ll realize it’s just a small blip in the overall upward trend of your career.
Is there anything like TripleByte but for the UK? I passed their little online quiz without any trouble and it said I could do well in their interview, but I also don’t really want to work in the US any time soon, with the culture as it is and all…

I don’t want to right now. I’m burned out.
take a break if you can then. if you have the ability, then take a month or two. there’s nothing wrong with that.
Month or two? Psh, I’m thinking like half a year
thats fine if you have the funds.
Okay. Thanks.
