Copy Paste technician, fabulous, up there with Prompt engineer
- TeMPOraL 3y agoWell, out of their, say, $50/hr rate, $1 is for the actual labor of copying and pasting, and $49 is for knowing what to copy and where to paste :).
- jjgreen 3y agoIf done by a civil servant (government employee), that would be grade AA (Admin Assistant) or AO (Admin Officer). An AO in London gets £24k/year, which is around £11.50/h, or $14/h https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/onscivilservantgradesandsalarybands https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/fre...
- HPsquared 3y agoThat's what they get, but their agency probably bills them out at £50/h
- onionisafruit 3y agoIs prompt engineer a derogatory term for people who spend their work day at a shell prompt? If so, I can own up to being a prompt engineer. Or maybe it’s an engineer who does their work promptly. In that case, I’m not sure I qualify.
- jjgreen 3y agoNeither, it's someone who crafts ChatGPT prompts to get the desired output (and that seems to be what they call themselves, so not really derogatory).

Jokes aside, though, I don’t think it’s fair to criticise people for using the only user-accessible interapplication communication channel the industry has universally agreed to make work and not use as lock-in leverage. The spreadsheets being in different formats and lacking additional sheets that’d automatically reformat the data the way the next step needs is something I’d criticise, but I undertstand how that might be nonobvious if you aren’t lazy enough to think about automating everything you possibly can.
