I know you think you want a programming job, but try to avoid it. I was in a similar position to you years ago. When you start working for other Sr. Dev etc, they will break your spirit and add levels of code bureaucracy and egos. This doesn't include the arguments about naming variables.
Just keep working on your own projects. Who cares if it's spaghetti code, you are making money, those people you interview with are working for the man, you are not.
Creative, drive and initiative (the talents you used to build your own web site and make it profitable) are talents not found in programming. Coders and Sr. Devs who see that you have those talents will soon extinguish those positive traits from character.
