  Hey funders,
  You know you could just... give... the money... to projects that need it. Like software libraries that ARE IN EVERYTHING.
  No grants. Don't make tech nerds write grants.
  Don't make the tech nerds hire grant nerds to write grants.
  FFS don't fund research into this problem with a budget of double what it would take to SOLVE THE PROBLEM for a significant number of open source projects with code that is, again, IN EVERYTHING.
