RE: Steemit Roadmap 2018 - @timcliff's Top Picks and Recommendations
As I went through that list I got dizzy. The sheer magnitude of those demands is impressive. Steemit developers will have a lot on their plate to keep them busy for a century! Joke aside, since many of the requests are recurring ideas, this is the perfect time to show the community that Steemit cares about them. Furthermore, I think it's time Steemit hired more people to implement those suggestions. For instance, I've been taking interest in Condenser's development, I realize how big of a project it is. Everyday there are new issues, pull requests, more issues, more pulls. Nothing wrong with that, that's what development is. Plus, let's not forget the other projects like steemd itself, upcoming hardforks and SMTs. More staff is definitely needed to meet those daunting tasks. In my view, SMTs should wait. Focus instead on the immediate problems and demands. Once those are dealt with, then we can move on to more icing on the cake, i.e. SMTs 🍰
I'm glad Steemit Inc. has finally opened their ears to users. Now that the listening doors are open, let's hope the action will follow 🙂
We are definitely interested in bringing on more developers and if anyone knows of any good developers interested in getting involved in the project they should feel free to put them in touch with me either on steemit.chat or at andrarchy@steemit.com.

I'll spread the word :)
Hehe, yes. This list would for sure keep them busy :)
My understanding is that they have been doing a lot of hiring recently and they are still looking for more talented developers.
I agree, I am really happy that they are bringing the gap with the community. About a year ago, that was actually one of the biggest issues that a lot of people had. It seems to have gotten a ton better, and I can see them continuing to improve.
I’m curious as to how Steemit inc is financed and pays for their staff. Do they pay people in steem?
They haven’t publicized much info along those lines.
