Without getting into numbers, it’s more than we would have been able to make at, say, a big tech job over the same time period (5 years)

      Please don't do this stuff here.

        Can you clarify?
        • romanhn 2y ago
          Please don't post ChatGPT-generated text on HN. You're very likely to be downvoted/flagged, which is what happened here. People here are capable of using ChatGPT themselves, and most of that text is not interesting in the HN sense. Separately, I think the answer was clear to most people - they did better than other well-paying alternatives (meaning it wasn't a poor outcome / waste of effort from individual perspective), but they're not going to share the specifics.

            Oh I didn't know there was a rule about that - I was just trying to save people a click or two. Noted for the future!

              There is no rule about that and your use of chatgpt in this case is useful and brought data to a different perspective. It is fair to ask if they got a good money for it or just a nice job

                There certainly is a rule about it. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=generated%20comment%20author%3Adang&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

                  That's not the same. OP used ChatGPT to improve an answer that didn't say much turning it into something tangible and that added value to the discussion.

                    It's exactly the same - it's not human conversation and the poster couldn't even assess what they were posting.

                      > the poster couldn't even assess what they were posting Uhm disagree, I know what I was posting (doesn't seem it was against the rules either), I was trying to understand better the answer that OP had submitted as a reply to my first question. It definitely helped me put it into a better perspective (i.e. no clue what an average salary at a large company looks like). That being said the answer to my question from the author still lacks enough details to make "total sense" in my mind - even after passing it through GPT.

  Even if it was less it is still worth it because you did it your way and didn't rely on someone else to decide your fate
