Building got weird fast. I spun up an entire social platform in just one hour using Claude—and the creators who jumped on it have already pulled in $2.7M. That's the kind of velocity that makes you rethink what 'shipping speed' actually means. The old gatekeeping around dev work? Pretty much gone. Now it's about having the right tools and knowing how to think through a problem. The creator economy just entered a new phase where the barriers to launching aren't technical chops anymore—they're imaginative chops. Here's the breakdown 🧵

Build a social platform in an hour? That's faster than me writing a post. That's a bit outrageous.

An entire social platform in one hour? The speed is truly incredible; imagination is more valuable than technology.

A whole platform in one hour? Claude is really incredible... But on the other hand, imagination is indeed more scarce than coding ability.

The entire platform went live in just one hour? How outrageous is that idea? I feel like I've entered the dead end of some track's internal competition again...

Build a social platform in one hour? Why do I feel like something's off? Is the ceiling for this idea really that low?

One hour to build the platform, 2.7M in revenue... These numbers look great, but I have to ask: what about the retention rate? Projects that start quickly like this are usually just a traffic bubble, and without a sustainable incentive model, it's easy to fail.

One social platform every hour? Uh... if that really turns into a profitable venture, I would have to reevaluate all my choices over the past two years.

Build the entire platform in one hour? Why do I find that hard to believe... But if it really turns into a competition of imagination, then it is indeed a turning point.
