This year, the bitcoin network processed between $20 million and $580 million per day in transactions, according to the data aggregated on blockchain.info.
“This is not sustainable,” said Mike Hearn, one of bitcoin’s core developers. “You can’t have an infrastructure held together by chewing gum and sticky tape and people who work evenings and weekends.”

The network will work fine without you out there writing code it was designed that way perhaps the issues of nodes and blockchain compression need developers but the core transaction client is fine.
Min txt is also fine as its above dust txts by a fair margin so not sure what the sticky tape spiel is about.

Investors from Silicon Valley, in particular, would like the group to focus on more technical matters, particularly fortifying the underlying bitcoin software so it can grow into a viable, large-scale payment network.
Fork it then the community will decide not to join you unless it really is superior
Until then keep working on the BIPS

These "investors" are not investing in the infrastructure, they are only buying bitcoins. If they invested in the infrastructure, then they would see the results that they demand because they would be directly supporting the effort.
Sadly, these "investors" are just big-time speculators with big mouths and bigger egos, and believe that they can get things done just by complaining.
