We have taken this last week to review and assess community feedback for the proposal and made some changes to the initial ask. To summarize, we shifted resources to prioritize deeper, more advanced educational content at the expense of user experience and business development hours. Our adjustments results in a -20% reduction from 93K to 76K based on the following decisions:
- Adjusted education focus for deeper secret specific learning content (Snip-20s)
- Reduced hours focused on user experience for the platform and secret boxes
- Reduced hours for student relations (as developer relations is now covered by agency)
