Jane Street made over $10 billion last year
they didn't make it by being smarter than you
they made it by engineering liquidity traps, manipulating options flow, and using retail traders as exit liquidity
you're not losing because your strategy is bad
you're losing because you're undercapitalized and fighting firms with unlimited resources using your own savings
that's not a fair fight, it was never supposed to be
so stop feeding them your savings
get funded, trade our capital, and keep the profits
builders in 2015:
- rally a squad of
- chase seed money with pitch decks
- grind for months sculpting v1 from scratch
- beg tech blogs for a whisper of buzz
- funnel money into ads just to scratch the surface
builders in 2025:
- launch wild ideas in public, day one
- solo-drop an in a single frenzy-filled night
- ignite traction with viral memes raw demos, epic UGC
- experiment fearlessly, chasing sparks to see what catches fire
- AI to conj code, craft designs, and write copy in seconds
The app building game has flipped:
- 90% development/10% distribution → 10% development/90% distribution
The hard part isn't building anymore, it's getting users
The 'backend optimization' nobody talks about:
Switching payment processors, picking the right infrastructure, choosing better tools.
Feels like nothing. Saves thousands at scale.
Compound interest but for your tech stack.
Young builders (under 25) are shipping real products.
Making real money.
Solving real problems.
But every community is either:
- Veterans flexing their exits
- Complete beginners asking basic questions
Where's the middle? The builders actually in the trenches right now?
We're invisible.
Young devs ship feature after feature thinking they're crushing it.
But they never stop to ask what's actually working.
Real growth isn't building more. It's building smarter.
Dear developer,
If you really want to win in 2025, ship fast and post daily
Your user wins are your evidence that you're building something people actually want
Young devs ship feature after feature thinking they're crushing it.
But they never stop to ask what's actually working.
Real growth isn't building more. It's building smarter.
Stop dreaming about that custom dashboard for your students.
I'll build it while you sleep.
You focus on content. I handle the tech.
Your members get premium software. You charge more. Simple.
Just launch and watch your whop look legit.
Traditional credentials are becoming irrelevant.
College degrees + VC funding used to be the only path. Now kids are shipping products that solve real problems and scaling to millions.
For the first time, you don't need a degree or investors to build something massive. You just need to solve a problem people actually have.
If you're building without the traditional path, I want to hear about it.
Show me what you're shipping.
@its_ilya In the crypto space, dashboards, trackers, monitors , algorithms, ai powered token analysis tools. I’ve build ai powered systems for real estate, I’ve owned a sneaker bot in the reselling space. And much much more.
