I don't understand this. The consumer books in his/ her local time stamp i.e. 12 PM pacific. Gets stored as Epoch milliseconds (and is passed around as a data structure i.e. Date struct with UTC as the timezone) and the providers sees the time stamp 3 PM EST or 2 PM CST depending on it's timezone at runtime (interface the provider it works with).
I don't understand why a specific timezone has to be "authoritative" here. What am I missing.
I had the same urge i.e. do something physical but something that was still technical in nature and you could use it as hobby income.
I bought a laundromat 5 years ago. Learned to fix mechanical issues, troubleshoot electrical issues. Learned to use tools to pull bearings out, using heat torches to remove worn out sleeves from a shaft, understanding how water valves, solenoids works. Learnt a lot.
While it is not as crazy as building something new, it is the closest I could get to with my software engineer career. My friends thought I was nuts.
