A few links to your projects would be very helpful here - are any of your projects opensource? Can you put some of your personal projects on Github? You said you published two iOS apps - could you post the links? ___________________________

You could start with remote job (Elance/Odesk) - I see African developers there from time to time (Kenya comes to mind at least). No paperwork needed to get started, you'll get real experience and some good contacts/referenc

If you're working on an existing project, you get involved with something more complex right away, and get in touch with other experienced and driven people - and such connection can lead to a good job opportunities as well. Speaking o

I'm watching FP group on LinkedIn, see Haskell, Scala and Erlang jobs from time to time. Not many, but the group itself isn't very active, I think language communities (IRC channels? Mailing lists? Meetups?) might bring more resul

Having hung around HN and Reddit for a while, I know that if someone tells you NOT to look up something - you really should not. As in, you're better off not looking it up, NSFL tag exists for a reason. Plus, patio11 is well-known here

Having stars next to you recent comments and submissions is the norm - at least I have (and always had) the same. You're not banned because you could post your question and I see it (so no shadowban).

Not really. I liked how PyCon organizers behaved during this whole thing - so good publicity for them, they showed they can handle such situations well and react to them sensibly.

To make things worse, Google's support for their own APIs is pretty weak - I had some bad experiences with them. Calendar API wasn't the worst - okay, I didn't get any response from Google guys on a bug I ran into, but they eventually fixed
