Ask HN: I automated my last job. What do I do now?

3 pointsby Tzedekover 8 years ago
I screwed up in&#x2F;after college and decided traveling was more important than building my CV.<p>In the last decade I earned money thanks to the languages I learned while traveling, and especially thanks to enjoying changing fields a lot. In the meantime I cultivated my passion for programming on my own, attending MOOCs and reading books. I studied Pythin, Ruby, Java and Haskell (the last two are the only ones that stuck in my head: Java being the most practical, and Haskell being in my opinion a pleasure to use, even at my very low level)<p>in the last two years, thanks to lucky circumstances, and thanks to Selenium and Java, I managed to almost fully automate my latest customer service job. I used the time to study more programming, but now it&#x27;s over and I am back to an office job I now can hardly bear.<p>Is there a way for an old noob with not much practical knowledge to get a remote entry level programming job?
