They haven't mastered the true Zen yet. The bad programmer writes a lot of spaghetti code that is impossible to debug and fix, so it has to be rewritten. The good programmer writes a few lines of efficient code and is done with the work. The enlightened programmer realizes this feature already exists in another program and doesn't need to be reproduced. The enlightened programmer writes no code.
These CEOs are very far from enlightened, because they try to increase the amount of code that is written, rather than decrease it.
