It doesn't matter if you tell yourself you know your stuff. I don't think anyone ever says "I don't know anything." You need to prove it. Companies don't care what you tell them, you need to show them.
If all the intelligent work you do can't be shared... you need to do some intelligent work that you can share. Otherwise nobody will know you're good.
Get involved with open source projects. If you get yourself involved in a community that already exists, and you show you know your stuff, you will be showered with job offers. If you do your own thing and then whine on HN, you will be unemployed forever.
