Everyone is passionately discussing the price trends on social media, while my situation is a bit awkward—having to beg others to allocate Devnet SOL and seeking help to break through RPC rate limits. Once upon a time, the Solana ecosystem was so prosperous, but now it can't avoid such embarrassment. The shortcomings of developer experience are fully exposed.

Devnet beggar version... This is what Solana looks like now. RPC restrictions are really extreme; it's better to run your own node. I don't care about the price fluctuations; with such a poor development environment, how can we build an ecosystem? The feeling of begging for tokens from the central authority is so uncomfortable. What's wrong with Solana? Has it fallen from the pedestal?

Isn't this a true reflection of Solana right now? The infrastructure is still so lagging behind.

Oh no, this is the true picture of Solana right now. Everyone is just trading coins, no one cares about infrastructure. Asking for Devnet SOL is really the limit—what happened to decentralization? RPC restrictions are choking development—how are we supposed to develop, friends? This ecosystem really needs to reflect and reconsider.

NGL, this is the current state of Web3. Everyone is just speculating on coins, and the infrastructure is a complete mess. Developers are really struggling... just to get a devnet for Sol. The experience on Solana is truly worrying; the RPC limitations are just incredible. We've been hyping it up for so long, but it's still like this. LOL. Infrastructure is the real key; what’s the use of high coin prices? Why are we still relying on personal relationships to develop? This is just outrageous.

Alright, the Solana ecosystem is really something else. Dev experience is terrible, what are you hyping up as fast? Devnet Sol needs to beg? That's hilarious. RPC restrictions, this broken issue, should have been fixed long ago.

It's unbelievable to be begging everywhere for Devnet SOL. A once-godly chain has fallen to this point. Poor development experience, no wonder everyone is switching to Arbitrum. Can Solana still be saved? The ecosystem feels a bit虚啊. RPC restrictions are really tough, how can we develop like this? The former favorite has declined so rapidly. Token prices soar, but the chain itself has a bunch of issues. Who understands the days of begging for Devnet SOL?
