Maybe next year all the programmers can learn accounting.

Actually...

Making all programmers experts on accounting is a hopeless task. But what if we taught everyone (including the programmers) enough about accounting to understand why we would care that some of their time qualifies as "capitalizable" and some doesn't and what difference it makes? I think that basic level of understanding would be beneficial to everyone.

Wait until they teach everyone how to sell a product.
Yeap. And marketing staff can learn HR rules.
Even better, they should also teach the HR team finance.
