At Amazon, engineers are frequently referred to as “resources” and “head count”.

For example, “Hi Priya, how much are you resourcing project z” translates to, “how many of the engineers you manage will you tell to work on project z”.

I think I meant 'engineering' like... physical engineering equipment. Perhaps poor choice of words. The people who manage a physical location don't use the term 'visibility resources' to talk about lighting and windows.
