We'll need to adapt to lower salaries
- f1shy 2y agoMaybe same salary, more output required, like it’s been when new technology allows for more/better work to be done in the same time.
- Etheryte 2y agoI'm not convinced this is going to happen to competent engineers. I've done my fair share of consulting gigs and some of the best money was in fixing spaghetti that was so long gone that even the original team behind it struggled to move the needle. My gut feel is that with LLMs, this kind of work is going to be even more valuable than before.
- ben_w 2y agoToday, yes absolutely. I won't bet on how quickly or slowly that will change, in part because I want it to be a slow change so I don't have to worry about learning a replacement trade.
- wil421 2y agoWasn’t there a prompt engineer salary posted on HN a while back for like $350k?
