Agree that using some of the grant money to create a "help devs to help themselves" infrastructure would go a long way. They're doing that with #SovEng and some of the design documentation, etc. That stuff scales really well, without skewing the market as much.

It's clear that there are a lot of good devs missing what I'd call "project infrastructure" and "business knowledge" and they don't have the professional experience or the time to learn it and provide it to themselves.

That's giving an advantage to my own team, but I can't provide it to everyone. It's frustrating because I see interesting projects sort of wilting away and devs getting discouraged.
