Ask HN: Where do you find remote work?

Hi,

You might remember me from my last post here:

I'm still trying to find remote work and I still couldn't find anything.

At this point I'm considering to switch career and become a mechanic, carpenter, chef, or something else.

Because 1) I can't find any work locally. 2) I can't find any remote work.

Why have jobs become so scarce? It didn't used to be like this, at least in our area of expertise.

Rails programmer here.

Suggestions welcome. I'm open to work on more things than just Rails work.
