Poll: Demand for Solidity devs over the next year?

[cymatic9]

With the bearish direction of the overall crypto market, and the potential for decreasing funding for many current blockchain projects, what is your outlook for Solidity developer demand over the next year?

It comes down to this:

"Given two lotteries, one where you are 100% mathematically guaranteed a random winner, vs a lottery you have to trust someone to pick someone fairly... which one are you picking?"

"Given two financial products, one where it will work exactly as expected forever, vs one where you have to trust a centralized entity is an honest participant... which one are you picking?"

It doesn't matter which way the market goes. The more people realize how much better life is with smart contracts, the more demand there will be.

Just checked in on this poll after a few weeks, and it's really encouraging to see that 100% of the people who voted think that the demand will go up!

I certainly hope it's true...I'm almost 2 months into my Solidity learning journey and I've applied to two places now...one has been in touch, and the other just gave me my first interview last week! I thought it would be way too soon for anyone to be interested in me, but I made it to the 2nd (the technical) interview! Now just waiting to hear back. Even if I don't get the job, it was a thrill to get the interview! And I'm committed to this path...still working every day learning everything I can. So if you're also on this journey, hope this encourages you to keep at it!

This is fantastic to see. I would love to replicate the process on a popular twitter account to see what a wider audience is perceiving.
