Another option is to hire the employee as a contractor and let them deal with their own benefits and time off. What am I not understanding here?

I found marketdata.app that seems to meet my needs. I also found an API from Bloomberg, which would be nice to have just so I can use it as a marketing element (buy my app to get real-time insights from Bloomberg), unless there are other advantages I'm not aware of.

The original grant notice is a good thing to read. They properly justify the cuts, and I think it's something that a lot of people would agree with - why is up to 70% of grant money being sent to "administration and overhead" at giant private universities? My small LLC is currently applying for an SBIR grant, and we were capped to 40% unless we provided a big justification - which we can't, because we're too small to justify anything like that. Meanwhile, big organizations and universities can throw their weight around and bully the government into handing them more money to do who-knows-what with. Maybe build a nice shiny new sports center with.

This is a good reform - even though it will cost my LLC about $75k in indirect costs that we might have been able to bill (40% -> 15%). I'm more confident in my ability to reduce our indirect costs and compete on a level-playing field with everyone else.

I probably wouldn't use it full time as an IDE, but I have been using it as a second programmer to push out features, while I work on other corners of the codebase

Where is the creativity? Are we doomed to solve every problem, technological, social, and political with an LLM now? Is this the slow descent into Idiocracy?
