Customers simply type what they want. GPS locates the customer. Companies submit reverse bids both manually and algorithmically. Customer accepts what suits them best. Yay, money saved, time saved, customer happy.
Specifically, I don't have enough experience building android apps to make it as slick as I would like. Happy to talk with anyone about it. Can build back end, will travel, etc :).
This is something I also have been thinking about... specially because I am useless around fixing the house.
I would love to be able to write somewhere "my backyard aluminium door has problem closing/is stuck" and get quotes from whoever is the indicated person/profession to fix that.
I started learning React Native to do that, but darn I just don't have enough time :(
Doesn't this already exist? especially for hardware? I remember a few years ago I needed some LED name tags and on some Chinese site I just asked for quotes for LED name tags... even today i get quotes from sellers for the same :P
How would companies submit bids though?
Should they have their own natural language/keyword analyzer to identify which product the customer is actually looking for and submit their price for it?
I was trying to build a clean static system I could use as a bootstrap to build clean packages from. Ran into trouble with things like coreutils, util-linux, and fakeroot. Making things harder is that I'm building everything against musl libc because glibc doesn't handle static linking well (and also because I don't like glibc).
I'm thinking a better strategy might be to use some other host system with pacman to build a base system of clean static packages, then use pacstrap to get this system up and running.
Tier 1: Those who solely re-implement. You can do a lot copying and pasting. It's just not worth as much money.
Tier 2: Those who re-implement while creating anew, typically in specialized areas or occasionally very well over a wide range of tasks.
Note the importance of re-implementation to both job tiers.

Were you a foolish humanities student when you got your bachelors? Worse, did you take it seriously and actually learn something? Great! Now study a technical discipline and blend away. IT is increasing the depth breadth and profitability of these blends daily.
Entrepeneurship killed a significant relationship of mine. It was entirely about money, she felt that I should continue to pursue my former profession, which provided meager, but stable income.
I was thinking about her and my future, which would require more than meager, stable income could provide.
Society hates entrepreneurship and that is why it is not a popular track: you need really thick skin to pursue it.
It's not about the money or lack of but the risk vs reward. Most males are risk takers where as most females are risk adverse(the why is many fold and not just limited to humans or even mammals).
My wife would hate it if I wanted to start a company, if she couldn't see a solid plan. If she could see the opportunity but more importantly the roadmap she would be on board.
