>> All sw dev is considered R&E. Soo you have no choice You certainly have a choice to claim it as such or not. More importantly, why TF has the government been paying software engineers salary all these years? That's the real question. Also, has it occurred to anyone that this may be why the big tech companies are laying off engineers in droves?

The government has not been paying software engineer salaries in any sense. This is in regards to profit calculation where business typically pays taxes on profits, so a zero profit company whose largest expense is developers gets a "fuck you, go out of business now" tax bill.

  Companies have been getting a handout and are now losing it. I'm not gonna cry.

    Companies have not been getting a hand out. Taxes are always paid on profits and not revenue.
