RE: 70% STINC Layoff: Ned Accidently Fired Himself!
stinc is not and never was an actual business. Ned said it himself when he said it doesn't have any customers.
That's the actual definition of a business, providing goods or services to customers (and hopefully creating profit as a byproduct).
Speculating on currency development is just speculating. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't.
What I don't understand is why the people who have the technical skills and interest in the platform have not done more with the open-source code that is available to everyone. I know there are a lot of them from the number of dapps and other projects that use STEEM.
As long as people are waiting for development and guidance from stinc, the tail will be wagging the dog.
Well, somebody went out and built Whaleshares, somebody went out and built Scorum, somebody went out and built Smoke, etc. There's been a lot of work done with the code. It's just not coming back into the Steem repository.
Yes, exactly.
The talent and skills are clearly there, but those developers seem to be limiting themselves. To a coding layman like me, it seems as if there is an assumption that stinc is in charge of STEEM when that is clearly not the case.
In a very literal sense they are. @vandeberg has final authority on all code changes, I suppose unless the top witnesses want to collectively fork the codebase and start working on their own.
If the Steem github were run by someone who interacted, it would probably help a lot.
Ah, I wasn't aware of that. I thought anybody could contribute code and the witnesses could vote on it.
