The 2nd most annoying thing about section 174 was all the time you had to spend classifying each engineer's time spent as R&D or 'internal software'. At my last company, every year, me and my engineering lead counterparts would spent almost a day reviewing each engineer's JIRA tickets to reconstruct how much of their time was spent on R&D vs internal software.

Why would you waste time doing this when you could just make shit up?

And just to clarify, that has been the MO any time I've been told to do this. If it's actually important they wouldn't want your numbers
