RE: Steemit Development - Profile Resteem Filter

in #steemit8 years ago

The reason I closed the PR at the time is because our team historically was pretty unfocused, and it's been an extremely important struggle for us to gain focus on the subset of things that we would like to work on that are critical for our success, given our limited resources.

Imagine a list of about 50 valuable things we could work on. We have to work on the 7 or 8 we have the team bandwidth to perform, and those 7 or 8 have to be selected based on what's most likely to help the platform succeed in the long term.

This means that many completely reasonable things to do will not be addressed this year, deliberately and by design, because they are lower priority than things like signup, retention, et c.

If we don't keep focus on the things we must do to grow and thrive, and continue to allocate our extremely limited developer attention on to "nice to have"s, our present opportunity would be squandered. It's a matter of prioritization and focus.
