The problem is, how do I get that specific experience that is required to work remotely? I don't have that much time to dedicate to side projects (I usually spend 4-8 hours per week with programming, sometimes less). IMO, time I spend at work is wasted, because it is so unrelated to the technologies I want to work with. To me, it does not count as additionnal experience. I want to find a job that will allow me to learn on the go, as I would do with a side-project anyway.

Go to bed at 9pm, wake up at 6 and work 1.5 hours before work.

And then you have weekends.

Project idea: Create URL shortener in Ruby on Rails that works like tiny.cc (very useful).

Then write in your resume that you have 1.5 yrs experience in Ruby on Rails. This is hot shit right now.
