You were disabled. You're stuck laying down most of the day. What do you do to earn a living and survive? - Lemmy.World

You were disabled and realize it is not getting better, and no one seems to be able to fix the issue. You’re stuck laying down most of the day, you have enough mobility to function at home, but anything outside of home leaves you in bad shape beyond your control where you are not professionally functional. What do you do to earn a living and survive? This is not a hypothetical for me.

I could continue my current job, working from home as a software developer.

The problem I run into is not knowing what it takes professionally. I’ve learned a lot but I’m just a hobbyist and have no clue how to get past that phase. I struggle with complexity, but I know hardware fairly well at the registers/stack/ALU level and can make a gagillion IF statements do anything wrong for a radar proximity triggered cat toy in Arduino. I just don’t know where to go with that and without any networking potential it seems a little hopeless.
