You Just Can Do Things.

Most people wait for a manual. They wait for a mentor, a "safe" entry point, or a sign from the universe that they’re ready. But if you're actually paying attention, you realize that waiting is just a polite word for conformity.

My feed flipped recently. It shifted from the mindless noise of CT drama to the "Vibe Code" insider hole prediction market algos and trading bots. I’ve been circling this for weeks. I even reached out to someone with a backtested, working model, but mf won't share it.

Good. There is no other choice now but to dive into the hole and build it myself.

I am a coding novice. In the old world, that was a terminal diagnosis. In the current world, it’s just a temporary data gap.

I realized I didn’t need a bot first; I needed structure. Standard journaling is fine for sentiment, but it’s a blunt instrument. It doesn't give me the granular data required for actual progress.

I brainstormed for 30 seconds. I spent the next two hours in a flow state.

The Birth of Chimpguard
What started as a simple journal idea evolved into Chimpguard. I maxed out my Claude limits for the day, redlining the engine until the very last prompt. On that final try, I pushed through the first beta.

- The Integration: Connected via extended API and Nado(where my perps volume lives).
- The Goal: Next week is for data analysis, glitch-hunting, and refinement.
- The Result: If it holds up, it goes on GitHub.

Iterating Without Permission
Sure, I could find a SaaS that does 80% of this. I could take the shortcut. But why wear off-the-rack when you can build a tailored suit?

There is a specific, irreplaceable joy in solving your own problems. When you build the tool yourself, you aren't just a user — you’re the architect of your own edge.

Stop waiting for the "right" time. Just start.
