Yearn.finance (YFI) founder Andre Cronje described the difficulties of developing in the DeFi space, listing out criticisms in a Jan. 12 blog post, and asking readers to ‘take it in context.”

• In the post, Cronje vents out the frustrations about developing solutions in the DeFi space, calling out unrealistic community demands, double standards, among other things
• The post is not meant to be taken too seriously; Cronje says that real users are scarce, development is expensive, and that community governance could be hindrance
• Cronje has been subject to both praise and criticism from the community, and is known for his forthright opinions on DeFi and investor behavior
• As for advice, Cronje sarcastically says that it would be more profitable and easy to trade altcoins than work as a DeFi developer
• Cronje’s statements allude to such incidents as when investors sued him for an incident related to the Eminence Finance project
