Reminds me of a term I came up with years ago: Engineer Critical Mass. As soon as you get X or more engineers standing around looking at something, you will start increasingly attracting more engineers at a rate proportional to the current size of the group. Kind of like a lower level "stiction" for inquisitive gravity.

At my last job X=3 and we had around 40 engineers on-site so it was pretty dangerous.

At my current job X~5 maybe but we only have 2 engineers on-site, so it's safe.
