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.

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.
Yep summed it up for me ^_^
