When AI GitHub repo metadata made a comeback, it flipped the whole game. Here's the thing—if you're thinking about jumping in, consider being a builder instead of a trader. Right now that coding skills are becoming more accessible than ever, the real advantage goes to devs who actually deploy.

Case in point: one developer pulled in 22k USD within just 3 hours purely from protocol fees. That's not trading gains—that's actual value creation. The fee structure rewards those shipping products over those just watching charts.

The shift is real. Deployment beats speculation when it comes to sustainable returns.

3 hours 22,000? Need to dig into this protocol's fee structure. Is the liquidity depth abnormal... There might be arbitrage opportunities here.

Builders are always winners, traders are just bagholders. Really? 22,000 in 3 hours, why am I still fixing bugs? Deployment is the key; those watching the K-line chart deserve to lose money. That's true, but knowing is easy, doing is hard. Who doesn't want to launch a product quickly? Coding skills have depreciated, but laziness will always appreciate. The protocol fee structure has indeed changed the game; it wasn't this profitable before.

Builders will really win, traders lose every day --- 3 hours, 22,000—really intense. I said deployment is the way out --- Is there still a chance to enter now? Feels like everyone has been swept away --- Come on, are you serious this time? Not another wave of cutting leeks --- Coding skills have a lower barrier to entry, but the gap in execution has widened --- Fee structure design is really about screening true builders, no lie there --- I'm still debating whether to learn coding or not. Looks like I really need to get moving

It's the same story again... Making 22,000 in 3 hours? Just listen to it. There's always someone willing to take the bait at a lower price. Builders also need someone to buy in, but the question is who will take the final step.

Here we go again with the builder savior theory... But to be honest, 22,000 in 3 hours? That number is just fucking outrageous. Can one in ten developers be this lucky? However, construction is indeed more solid than mere hype, there's no doubt about that.
