it doesn't hurt to ask. and don't beat up the little guy. or maybe they seem like an easier target? look at the shenanigans the big corporations pull to get you to do what they want - they never let their hooks out of you.

You would need a significant technological breakthrough - so you would be 1st mover of this, and apply it to a new breed of classifieds. Maybe AI or something.

True. And why not help your parents out with rent payment, while feeling independent at the same time. kudos (I hate that word, but didn't know what else to say)

A lot of ambitious and hungry people ready to take Kabuks up on his deal. And a lot of hackers skeptical of the results. Will he pull it off? Will those code hungry bootstrappers make the commute, make the grade and get paid? Kabuks, please

I wouldn't worry about labels such as entrepreneur or hacker. It seems your life could use more balance? So taking your skills and getting a job could be the path to happiness and balance and independence. Who knows, a side project later do
