The difference between a good web developer (80th percentile?) and a median one is much greater than the difference between a good driver and a median one. And the inputs and outputs can be fuzzier. And bad output in tech lasts longer than the negative effects of a bad ride. That’s why it’s harder to hire anonymously like via an app.

I agree but just like uber it's not really "gig" work. You're essentially working full-time and even more (unpaid overtime) but you're classified as an independent contractor so you don't have any benefits or security under the false guise of "flexibility".
