you are right about this as everyone needs to find his passion and fit in to what they can do most, or else some who knows his way come to do it better, i can relate to this most,
I'm a Rapper who has released about 2 E.ps but like you said developers adopted the platform earlier during steemit development era and still. much in development and they weren't much artist or artiste then this makes it more difficult for most minnows like us with some skillz to glow as it is easier for a minnows who got that developing skillz can gain more visibilty if their code is merged with the projects,
i have tried several ways to be useful to this community as i tried as much as possible to give in all i got, i know i heard about steemit not too late and not too early as i joined october,
far so good i have been so much to this platfirm and its community,
also don't want to be left out i tried contributing my own ideas through the utopian-io platform (though i was happy a contribution of mine was implemented this week)
Trying to grow and show all steemians that i can be more than what i am,
i also joined the openmic community every week in order to support the platform of the steemit artiste cause i believ oneday when steemit is out of the beta phase, entertainment might be the major role the platform may be (my predictions)
and i believe i can do more,
like @techslut said i too I'm always active of about more than 17hours daily , and also guiding newbies and promting steemit on telegram and in Nigerian through the platform @Airhawkproject,
@stellebelle i would say you have tried more in thkse failed job of yours you mentioned , owhat you should know is that those jobs were setting you up for greatness here,
you have really carved a niche for your self here, what about if i say The wolf of steemit is my Role model many will say I'm too hyperbolic lolx
but that might be the truth,
well i don't want to say i failed in music cause i still have a long way to go,
the future have alot to say about that,
and as steemit is here to stay for good,
so we are here following her footsteps.
