I'm curious what your current career is and why it's coming to an end. Is it because you don't enjoy it anymore, it's a dead end, programming is far more enticing to you, or something else?

If you enjoy programming a lot and have time on your hands, you might find Recurse Center (https://www.recurse.com/) interesting. It's a retreat for self-directed programmers and I'll be joining the upcoming winter cohort myself.

I had no credentials when I started programming for work, but after several years in industry and learning in my own time, I think it's really worth finding a community to be a part of. Not only do many great opportunities come through chance encounters/personal relationships, it's simply a lot more fun to learn & build alongside others.
