A self-described 15-year-old founder, Elijah, posted that he burned 15b Claude tokens in a week and a half, has $0 revenue, and is soliciting website-building work via DMs. Nat Eliason quote-shared it with a dry "Elijah makes very nice sites." A snapshot of teen vibe-coding culture: heavy token spend, no monetization yet, openly pitching services.
