    Plenty of engineer bean counters exist unfortunately, it’s still the preferred way of gaining promotions. Show the higher ups how many beans you preserved, and you get a higher salary. Count even more beans, higher salary, etc. The IBM effect.

    Suddenly engineers are in charge, but they set aside engineering long ago for “glorious” beans.
