- nefitty 5y agoYes! Unfortunately I was not born with Vitalik Buterin’s innate genius, so I understand I have to move myself forward more mechanically.

Depending on your own goals brute force or giftedness might not even be necessary let alone sufficient. Particularly when it comes to external validation.
