On: Bank of America's CEO says it's saved $2B per year...

50,000 engineers just to run a bank? I don't think so.

[milkytron → sundbry]

JP Morgan has about 50k "engineers."

A lot of them are managers, analysts, or people who work with tech, but aren't all trained software engineers. A scrum master is considered an engineer. They had a blanket update to a lot of their role titles a couple years back where everyone in tech suddenly became a Software Engineer as their title (without much meaning behind it).

250,000 engineers at JPMorgan.

There are ~250k employees at JP Morgan, not engineers.

What tool is this for? Sed?

I've copy pasted it before, but i think you just made the syntax click

[simpsond → tekno45]

Yep, sed supports that syntax (substitute). echo 'There are ~250k employees at JP Morgan, not employees.' | sed 's/employees/engineers/2'

Thanks :)

[doovd → kevstev]

Oh yeah, 40k engineers, apologies

[mcv → sundbry]

Why not? It's a lot, but I don't see this as an unreasonable number.
