Yes, it was actually sort of a legacy thing from back when we did the very early MVP mock up on Steem days.

I'm glad you find the changes to be appealing, we're certainly quite happy with them and we've actually got quite a bit more changes to come probably in the next quarter in terms of visual ux updates.

As for talent, I agree with you. Having talent but no thread of hard work will not get you far. Having a long time horizon helps in that respect, because nothing of value was ever achieved and sustained in a short space of time. We are all the products of our efforts (hopefully smart efforts and not blind volumous effort)
