They probably should have just created a minimum wage+ that is minimum wage plus like 40-60% to cover insurance taxes etc. And if it's a per task job the burden would be on the company to prove the tasks aren't is less than minimum wage+.

As the article mentions, this punishes many stay at home moms and that’s really quite tragic.

Yeah that probably would've been better this seems like a nightmare to navigate as well. I mean as a developer is a git commit an item, a jira ticket, a full app/mvp, or something else? Or does this not apply to development?

Not living in California though this might be a boon for devs in nearby States.
