Not finding a job while being told my background is impressive yet not quite the right fit. As though it will never be the right fit for anything.

I want to tell you thank you. I don't know what about your comment struck me so potently, but I was quite moved.
I wont explain entirely, but you have changed my life in a very concrete and substantial way.
The simple right thing is hard to do. Go for it.

qdrant also pays open source contributors: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35828003
disclaimer: i'm a founder at algora.io, the platform that enables these paid contributions
"Algora charges a 23% fee over your rewarded bounties (20% Algora fee + 3% Stripe fee). The fee is applied when you complete your bounty payments."

If algora.io didn't charge %23 of the bounty I would have tried to contribute. It felt unfair to me.

Good work. Stating the % improvement upfront in the README can increase adoption.
Here is what I'd do if I were you:
Build a list of all the companies you could/want to work for
Build a list of all the linkedin profiles of their HR/recruiters/talents or (co)founders for small startups(you can use phantombuster or a custom puppeteer scraper)
Find all their emails using wiza, dropcontact or a similar tool
Use a mailbox warmer for a few days/weeks to prepare your mail address to send lots of mails without getting flagged as spam
BCC all of them asking if they'd be open to hiring part-time (or use lemlist)
you can also send automated linkedin invites/messages to them
