I think we're in the refactoring dulldrums, is all. Never been on a big project that didn't stall out and rework, at some point, because some of the stuff didn't scale well or some of the founders got bored and wandered off.
Projects are already deep into maintenance and some experimental types refuse to do maintenance and have nobody in the team to pick up after the Proof of Concept stage.
I think we're going to have fewer projects, going forward, but they'll be larger, more seriously run and better-supported. And stuff will be less buggy.

Great observation! πΆπΎπ«ππ»
Yeah, the pareto principle is brutal. Want to get something more than 80% done? Enjoy your 5-10 year long grind! I am currently entering this phase with 15k lines of code, and am just trying to balance protocol support, UX improvements, new features, and bug fixes. It's not as fun as it was at the beginning, but that is absolutely ok, this is what I'm here for.
