retrofunding is great until you realize it has led to an entire generation of crypto boys who travel around the world shitposting building half baked projects with no incentive to maintain

retroactive grants as a lifestyle is not the vibe sorry not sorry

obvs this doesn’t apply to FC builders, we’re elite 🥰

this seems more like a cultural issue, not a mechanism issue

it's an open secret that a lot of scientific funding in academia is basically retroactive, many apply for funding for work that's already started or even done but not yet published and use that funding to finish the last bit and start work on the next project

then again, academia is also known for half baked software with no incentive to maintain 🤔

Yeah agree with this. There is a place for these mechanisms but unfortunately they are bolted on to anything these days

I’m particularly skeptical of the refi crowd and see them as hand waving, paragraph writing grifters that don’t believe they are extractive. If I could some them up in a word “Biden”
