"the [...] conservative unwillingness to believe in the idea that justice might involve any type of collective sacrifice. [...] Any type of personal sacrifice that is designed to help someone other than you. They fundamentally disagree that that is important, and they believe that you shouldn't have to do it, and the reason they believe that is because their status in society is generally secure."

...

it seems to me that your actual impact would be much higher by contributing to an existing piece of software, with an existing user base.

Yes, adding to existing software is harder: you have to understand someone else's code before you start, but the users don't have to learn something new. So, overall, we probably save time?

science software funding chat

how often do folks who review (or otherwise look at) grants (or projects) see "we will contribute to X package/library" where X is not written by the grant authors?

I see (and have been involved in) a lot of projects who say "and we'll write a package for this" but very few (almost none) that talk about external contributions to existing software.

The latter seems far more useful, but obviously less flashy. Are the incentives ("originality") in the wrong place for this to happen or am I suffering from sample bias?
