> "more than the value they add" This sounds like a very biased perspective. Sales and marketing is not "non functional bloat" - it's actually far more important because if you don't have sales then you don't have a business. There have been countless companies with brilliant engineers that no longer exist because they couldn't actually bring a product to market. Also managing people is incredibly difficult and easy to ignore if you've never done it.
