At a company I used to work the manager of our next money cow project promoted the 2-4 people who committed features the fastest. They were "10 times as fast" as the others and therefore it made sense for him to give them the title of "architects" and give them veto power.

Turns out they spewed out the most ugly, over-engineered and unmaintainable code that all the others had to fix/maintain/understand their mess.
