/r/programming would probably be a good jumping off point.
My problem now is that the startup where I am working ran out of money, and I have no money (I don't own a car, house, or even a decent cellphone! I am using a borrowed dumbphone right now).
I sent hundreds of resumes, but companies don't even invite me to interview.
Instead of 'I ran out of money and will have to move back soon', which reads a little negative, try 'Thanks! I live in São Paulo right now, but I'm willing to move anywhere in Brazil for an opportunity, though my funds are a bit low so traveling will be tough. I'll send you an email/my email is in my profile'
This might help some, dudu. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8394490
From what I've gathered about the programming industry, its a lot of "show us what you have done" rather than I have a degree in X(although its beneficial for companies who insist on degrees.)
