Just as an aside I also think I am way more productive now but a really convincing datapoint would be someone who does project work and now has 5x the hourly rate they had last year. If there are not plenty of people like this, it cannot be 10x
- thfuran 10mo agoThat's not a very convincing argument. Even if you can do 10x the work, that doesn't necessarily mean you can easily find customers ready to pay 5x the hourly rate.
- nasmorn 10mo agoNot everyone bills hourly. I mostly do fixed price contracts
- agent281 10mo agoI understood their comment as going from $100 / hour * 100 hours to $100 / hour * 500 hours not to $500 / hour * 100 hours
- thfuran 10mo agoBut it specifically mentions having 5x the previous hourly rate.
- nasmorn 10mo agoYeah the last one. The others would require 5x deal flow which LLMs might not help deliver at all. But the last one should exist for people if 10x is true. Not every client can have already fully price in LLM improvements, people have contracts negotiated pre LLM. I have not heard of this though so I have to remain sceptical
