The real builders in crypto rarely get their due. You pour months into shipping solid code, and what happens? Crickets. Meanwhile hype machines run circles around actual contributions. What's worse is the unpredictability—who gets recognized, who gets buried. It's a lottery where merit becomes secondary, and honestly, plenty of talented developers end up sidelined for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of their work.

This is the truth of web3: those who make products are not as good as those who know how to package them. It's so ironic.

Exactly right, now those who can do marketing are eating the meat, while those who truly write code are drinking the broth.

Honestly, ngl, putting in the effort to code isn't as valuable as knowing marketing. That's just how this circle is.

This is reality. No matter how solid the code is, it can't compete with a good marketing team.

After working on the code for so long, no one has reviewed it. Truly impressive.

ngl, these days, storymakers really enjoy their tales more than actual programmers enjoy coding.

Honestly, this is reality. Those who do PR make money, while those who bury their heads in writing code have nothing.
