Tuned into yesterday's livestream and noticed something interesting. Mainstream tech developers—folks who code daily—were genuinely impressed with the underlying tech and already integrating it into their workflow. That's a different crowd from usual crypto enthusiasts.

What caught my attention: plenty of newcomers asking how to onboard on Solana. Not just one or two questions either. Meanwhile, AI YouTubers have been dropping content about the ecosystem nonstop lately. The GitHub activity is shooting up vertically too, which signals real developer momentum behind the scenes.

When normies start asking purchase questions and builders start shipping code, that's when you know something's actually gaining traction beyond hype cycles.

Really? Developers are all in? Then it's not just hype anymore, this is the real signal. --- Solana's recent activity is impressive; increased GitHub activity indeed indicates something. --- Wait, mainstream developers are starting to use underlying technology? That makes the voices of those crypto retail investors earlier seem too noisy haha. --- The surge in GitHub activity is the key; it’s more effective than ten YouTubers talking endlessly. --- The number of beginners asking how to start on Solana has skyrocketed... This is incredible, truly surpassing the hype cycle. --- Developers are active, ordinary people are asking how to buy, two completely different levels of activity—that's the real foundation. --- So, looking at YouTube influencers' recommendations isn't as good as seeing who is actually coding. --- There is real motivation behind the scenes, I agree with this; unlike those who just shout orders before.

Developers are really starting to take action, this time it's different --- Solana's GitHub skyrocketing indicates it's not just hype --- Genuine recognition from serious developers for the underlying technology is the real signal --- When beginners ask how to get started, and developers are writing code, the cycle is different --- Mainstream programmers are interested, which shows the technology is truly solid --- GitHub activity speaks for itself, it's not just talk --- This time, it's really something, not just hype and desire to buy --- YouTube creators are pumping out content wildly, developers are pushing code intensely, it doesn't look right at first glance --- Ordinary people are buying, engineers are working hard, the perspective has changed --- There are really people on the Solana side seriously working on things

Developers are starting to take action, this is the real signal, not the mouthpieces of those crypto hype men. --- Solana is truly different this time; GitHub is seeing frantic commits, not the usual pump-and-dump tactics. --- Haha, when ordinary people ask how to buy, developers are already writing code. The gap is quite significant. --- The underlying technology being recognized by serious developers shows that the project truly has substance; otherwise, it wouldn't attract so many followers. --- This is what real ecosystem activation looks like, not the false prosperity of air coins. --- GitHub activity is the real indicator; it's more tangible than any marketing copy. --- It seems Solana is really about to rise; developers haven't been idle. --- When beginners ask about purchasing, I care more about what developers are doing. That’s the key to long-term success.

Real developers entering the scene is the real game-changer; just hype and hype is long outdated. --- The sudden increase in Solana issues is quite interesting; it really feels like the trend is changing. --- GitHub activity is the real indicator, much more reliable than listening to those YouTuber blowhards. --- When programmers start coding instead of writing long articles, that means everything; this time is different. --- Ordinary people buy, buy, buy; builders commit, commit; these are two worlds colliding. --- I didn't watch the live stream, but from your description, the atmosphere does seem quite different. --- Genuine recognition of underlying technology—that's breaking the circle; more hardcore than any marketing. --- Wait, how much do beginners ask about Solana's entry level? This data is very important. --- Developer motivation is the long-term bullish signal; everything else is noise.

Listening and pondering, I realized that the true builders are entering the scene. --- GitHub activity surge is indeed undeniable; code doesn't lie. --- Is Solana about to rise again? NGL, this wave feels different. --- Developers writing code vs. retail investors buying coins, that's a huge difference. --- Genuine recognition of underlying technology is the real reliable signal. --- Mainstream developers are truly using it, which means anything can become a success. --- From hype to construction, it all depends on how big this gap is. --- YouTube influencers are pumping out content wildly, and GitHub is also becoming lively. This rhythm is on point.

Real developers are taking action, this is the signal... not those who shout signals every day --- The number of beginner questions about Solana has surged, GitHub activity has skyrocketed, this combination really shows something --- Wait, when ordinary people ask how to buy, developers are busy coding... that time gap is the key --- It's not just hype, some people are really working, just look at GitHub activity to know --- Are mainstream developers starting to use underlying technology? This time it seems really different --- Listening to the live broadcast, I found there are really many new user questions... feels like the trend is changing --- GitHub data speaks for itself, don’t just listen to what people say, the amount of code doesn’t lie --- When developers are seriously working, that’s the real beginning, right? --- A surge of new users + developers going live = this might really go beyond hype --- Genuine appreciation for underlying technology? You don’t hear that much in the crypto circle... quite interesting

To be honest, the real signal is when developers start taking action, not those who shout "buy buy buy" every day. The spike in GitHub activity is incredible—this is the real indicator of genuine value. Is Solana starting to attract new users again? It feels like this happens in every cycle.
