It's wild how many devs are spinning up market making bots, volume automation tools, liquidity provision bots, and token buy/burn mechanisms—basically shipping production-grade infrastructure in what feels like days.

Here's the thing though: if these teams can architect and deploy sophisticated bot systems practically overnight, how come finding a competent developer to build custom solutions costs an arm and a leg? The contradiction is real. Whether it's because these bot-builders are cutting corners, leveraging existing templates, or operating under different economic models entirely—something doesn't add up on the pricing side of the crypto dev market.
