For Development?
Yeah, committing to a library isn’t research, but it is very clearly development.
You may not want this kind of development to receive tax breaks, which is a reasonable position to have, but this rhetorical trick of pretending R&D is only about research to pretend actions that are very clearly development are somehow illegitimate R&D is highly misleading to say it nicely.
- vasco 1y agoWell R&D is just the English term I used for it - but you have a point. How the tax law evaluates this and what words are used depends on jurisdiction, whereas I was speaking imprecisely in an internet forum. In my country for example the term is similar but you usually have to submit projects in advance for approval and have reviews of your research output.
- ethbr1 1y agoThe D in R&D means developing research into a product. That's pretty far off keep-the-lights-on or CRUD coding.
