FWIW IRC ANAL, a couple jobs ago there was a policy about only hiring copy/paste from Stack Overflow headcounts. Since good code was literally not allowed, scaling meant more servers with more RAM.

They eventually replaced me with a handful of their relatives, or at least it seemed. It was a lot of fun watching how many LOC one could "write" to request some trivial data from an endpoint. Luckily I was only golfing the latter half of that tenure so I have no regrets.
