everyone on this project probably learned a lot doing it, dont you think!
I'd also want to get paid to work on stuff not meant to bring any financial returns to my employer, just to learn and pad my resume. Sounds like a sweet gig. Where do I sign up?
become a scientist? apply for research grants. Join an NGO.
Lots of options
Not everything has to return money.
>become a scientist? apply for research grants. Join an NGO.
You mentioned only 2(grants are also academia) and most NGOs don't hire SW devs. That's hardly "lots", basically none out of academia.
>Not everything has to return money.
But then where does that money they give you come from?
