Hmm. I'm honestly curious what are those "serious problems" all those blockchain companies are trying to solve? I've been watching the industry for about six years. All I see is apps to exchange one token for another and infrastructure around that (DeFi, DEXes, wallets). I was also excited at first, but now I'm becoming increasingly skeptical about where it's all heading.
Is the demand funded by "real" money or printed tokens? I know that projects say they're putting money into the development, but it's usually printed money out of thin air. I'm not sure if that's a healthy ecosystem. Of course, as a developer, I can just take the money, do the work and go home, but I fear that after while I would feel terrible because the work I do doesn't make sense.
with regards to "blockchain needs more devs" - does you mean we need more devs contributing to open source blockchain projects, or that blockchain companies can't find enough developers to hire?
because there are *a lot* of out of work devs right now...
would call bs if you are asserting the latter.
"Almost every company I know of is having trouble hiring developers. Many of these teams offer up to $1 million / year or more total compensation for senior-level developers, and even pay very good money for capable people in less senior (but not quite junior) roles."
In my experience as a dev, generally blockchain companies have little to no interest in hiring junior or mid-level devs.
This is the real problem–blockchain companies don't want to hire anyone but senior-level or interns.
