Ask HN: should I live my corporate job?

I have been working in controlling finance for 3 years. It has been up and downs and now it's definitely a down moment. I kept learning web development (python, js, css, html) those 3 years, but I do not have a real portfolio besides my website and some scratchy apps. I am not a professional programmer, but I can talk to programmers easily. Definitely I lack experience, but I think I can put that in if I can do some junior work.

I am also willing to learn new technologies, in fact, I was looking into angularjs lately and I think it would be cool to build something in it.

Given this, would you think I have any chance to start in the remote web developer world? Or do I lack too much experience? Any suggestion to start fast?
