I’m sorry but if you’re paying $200k for a smart contract engineer you’re ngmi

“no, the smart contract needs to be perfect and audited” bro hit $100k in daily volume then worry about it being perfect

    There’s this weird trend where some people simultaneously think:

    1. Chat-GPT will do everything for them and makes all problems trivial
    2. Whatever they decide to do with it still has value and is a good career choice

    Obviously 1 is false, but if we lived in a bizarro world where it was true then the “prompt engineers” would very quickly realize that literally anyone is capable of engineering prompts and they are not in fact a unique and special person who is better than anyone else at asking jarvis to wipe their butt for them.

    See also: the weirdos on twitter who argue that all careers except “prompt engineering” are on borrowed time.

      Why wouldn’t ChatGPT, the perfect tool, simply give us the best prompts if we ask for them? Simply replace the prompt engineer with ChatGPT to save a ton of money.
