I am sorry, Bro, but you can't retire yet. Even if all the metrics are done and taken care of, there still needs to be someone to use that data to make meaningful discussions.
I can't speak for GP, but from my minimal perspective, there is a record of people performing and then being unable to replicate that same performance. People change, and not always for the better.
The difference here is the mindset of your approach to funding projects. You are approaching it from a strict perspective of no second chances, whereas the actual evidence is more geared towards the much more lenient "these are my people and I need to defend them". Will this change for the better? I believe it will. Will it happen anytime soon? No.
And that is why data needs to be precise, and there needs to be people to use that data to point out problematic patterns. However, change has already started happening, as per my observation, from 2023 to 2024. Of course, not all changes have been ideal, and they don't have to be. Experimentation and trusting new people are a must for the growth of Hive. There is no growth without any risk.
Also,way too necro a year-old post, lol.
I am under the same name on Discord but I tend not be on that platform much.
