There are already some excellent responses here. I get the sense that you are still trying to figure out what role is ideally suited for you, is that correct?

There are already some excellent responses here. I get the sense that you are still trying to figure out what role is ideally suited for you, is that correct? If that's true, here's an out-of-the-box idea.. Why not get a job as a recruiter? Assuming it pays insurance, it might give you a chance to stabilize your expenses, learn about what tech companies look for, and how they operate. You'll also build a network by helping others get jobs. In your spare time you can work on a few open-source projects that demonstrate your competence as a developer, if that's what you want. Good luck!
