I'd stop worrying about your skills and start looking for opportunities. Start networking and finding people who have problems that can be solved with software and have a good market fit. Lots of people say "solve your own problems first" but software developers have a very unique set of problems that 99% of people and businesses don't have. Once you start to see how other non-devs work you'll start to see enormous inefficiencies and people crying out for solutions.
