The one thing that helps I think is writing of codes that are open source. Yes, it's a sticky point regarding getting funding, but in that imaginary world where you are funded well, transitioning to open codes (save the things that are...export controlled) would be beneficial for all of us.

I hate how I can't publish easily on modifications I make to our PIC code because it isn't open source; eventually I'm planning to switch to another code (and might implement a needed solver for it) just for the sake of my publications.
