I am in somewhat urgent need of new employment / contract. The recent months have been really hard on me. I have been diagnosed with diabetes, I have engaged in two bad work contracts that left me scarred, and on top of that I'm facing personal issues.

At this point, I really need to start over, and start low — with a job that's friendly to people in the spectrum, fully remote, with flexible schedule, up to 20 hours a week, no calls. I need a lot of time for my everyday walks that both keeps my diabetes at bay and serve as my coping mechanism.

I don't need much but I really need to get around 400 EUR a month to cover obligatory fees (and therefore not get even more depressed over losing money by working). I'm located in Poland, so I'd prefer employers from the EU.

All my recent experience is in open source. Primarily I'm a #Gentoo developer, and I'd love to extend that into paid employment. I have worked as a software developer. I have very good command of C (and reasonably good of the readable parts of C++) and Python. I'm interested in learning Rust. However, for minor tasks I can usually deal with existing code in pretty much any reasonable programming language.

I'm a backend kind of guy; I'm probably not capable of doing frontend stuff in a way appealing to neurotypical customers. I'm good with VCS-es (particularly git), build systems, testing, mocking, packaging, QA, accessibility, portability — stuff average programmers don't necessarily enjoy.

At this point, I'd strongly prefer tasks that aren't very demanding and have a good chance of success, so that I could rebuild my self-esteem.
