This tracker will definitely give you a headache if you watch it for too long.

Anyway, it's time to ʞɔnɟ the cabals!

🚀 Introducing PumpFun CTO Tracker! 🚀

We’re thrilled to announce PumpFun CTO Tracker, a free Telegram channel that sends real-time alerts for potential on-chain CTO signals!

We encourage all heroes in the trenches to join, share feedback, and help us spot patterns to improve the tracker.

🧵 Here’s a quick thread with more details and links 👇

The day has come! 👀

We're happy to introduce
Flydex Task Studio ✏️📐

A reimagined way for startups and companies to collaborate with Flydex on product development.

From MVPs and bots to brand identity and media commercials.

Turn almost any product idea into a task:
pick the direction and configure the scope.

Track the process transparently through statuses, milestones, and timeline events.

All in one Telegram-native app.

@EHuanglu Having worked in the film industry for 15 years, I dont think most people understand what all goes into making a Hollywood film. The actual filming is just one part of it.

No, I don't think it's over for Hollywood IMO

saas is dead

openclaw replaced all my subscriptions

went from $480/month on tools
to $1,245/month on API costs & 15 hours a week fixing yaml files

adapt or be left behind

@HedgieMarkets My agent cluster hit $847/day last month.

I was so proud until my CFO pointed out we had closed zero deals that quarter.

Anyway I've since added 3 more agents to investigate why the first agents aren't closing deals.

[Hedgie @HedgieMarkets]

🦔 Jason Calacanis says his company hit $300/day per agent using Claude's API at only 10-20% capacity, which scales to around $100,000/year per agent. Chamath Palihapitiya added that he's now asking "what's the token budget for our best devs?" and said AI-assisted developers need to be at least 2x as productive just to justify the cost. He said this is actively happening inside his company or he'll run out of money.

My Take
This was always the obvious trajectory. AI providers subsidized usage to drive adoption, and now the subsidies are ending. The consumer plans are likely loss leaders subsidized by VC money, and the gap between what individuals pay and what it actually costs to run these models is closing fast.

I'm struck by the surprise from people who should know better. These are sophisticated tech investors just now realizing that running agents 24/7 burns through tokens at rates that dwarf human salaries. A human engineer runs on coffee, remembers context from years ago, builds institutional knowledge, and doesn't rack up exponential costs the longer they think about a problem.
Agents waste tokens constantly, researching and validating things that don't need validation, spinning up subagents for simple tasks when a straightforward approach would work fine. The companies that fired engineers to replace them with AI agents are learning that you can't negotiate with an API bill the way you can renegotiate a salary. And unlike employees who might stick around during a rough patch, the meter just keeps running.

@Thru_18 you're good bro, and dont listen to these freaks, they have zero hard skills

[Soren @sorenblank]

prediction cone/safe triangle — this is something we take so much for granted in modern day native UIs.

but it's not the same for most web-based dropdown menus. it took me a while to implement this here.

Amazon, macOS, Windows all implement some version of this.

[James High @jhigh2000]

@davidfowl The problem is that nobody, not you, not developers, not consumers, is paying the real cost for any of this. You’re getting heavily subsidized compute that’s basically free. It's not sustainable, and it’s unclear what happens when the VCs decide it’s time to get paid.

@historyinmemes Still trapped in a 9 to 5. Sad. This is why you need to start your own vending machine business to escape the matrix.

If your MVP or business idea is really doing $10k-$20k+ MRR, why are you on YouTube/X explaining it and creating competitors instead of scaling it?

[flydex @flydexIO]

We're stepping into 2026 ✨

2025 was a year of building in the background.

We kept iterating and learning, investing in the core.

We've been building something to make collaboration simpler and cleaner.

We believe 2026 rewards preparation.

[flydex @flydexIO]

Merry Christmas🎄

Thanks to everyone building, supporting, and believing alongside Flydex.

Small steps. Same direction.
The key is consistency.

Wishing you a peaceful reset and a strong start to the year ahead ✨

devs are making $10k-200k monthly on polymarket

no they're not lol

here's what those threads don't tell you

zero fees = zero friction for HFT shops to eat your lunch.

In an efficient market, these simple arbitrage opportunities are fleeting at best. High-frequency trading bots and sophisticated arbitrage algorithms continuously scan for such discrepancies, capturing profits within milliseconds.

You're not competing with other python hobbyists
You're competing with rust bots running on dedicated polygon nodes with sub-millisecond execution.

That "simple python script" from twitter?

For Python systems, these numbers were more in the 250-500 microsecond range per message, meanwhile actual HFT systems in rust/c++?
Processing time per quote message is about 12 microseconds.

that's 20-40x slower before you even place an order.

what you actually need:
- dedicated polygon RPC nodes (public ones rate-limit you into irrelevance). 99.99% uptime, 100% healthy nodes in production, and average latency max 86.5 ms for premium infrastructure
- VPS colocated near polymarket servers. Ultra-low latency and physically close to Polymarket's servers
- Code written in rust. There's literally a polymarket-hft crate optimized for trading scenarios requiring fast execution
- Proper quant algorithms you can't vibecode because garbage collection is extremely useful during development but often sub-optimal for certain high frequency trading strategies

so those "$200k/month" traders?
They exist.
They're the top 0.5% and they're running infrastructure that costs more than your yearly salary.
