A few days ago I got an inquiry from someone in another state that was looking for a developer to implement an automation for their business. A one-off implementation that would solely serve their business.The inputs and steps required to produce the automation are not proprietary nor are they unique to the inquirer's business. It's just an obscure automation for a fringe industry that I would have never come across if it weren't for the inquiry.As I started exploring the feasibility of the automation, I recognized the opportunity to create a platform that offers this automation to other businesses as a SaaS. I hacked together a prototype over the weekend.Have I violated a spoken or unspoken code of conduct or have I infringed on the inquirer's IP?
