* Available time to prepare (esp. when holding a job) = available to work long hours
* Self-motivate themselves for a long time (esp. to do such bullshit work)
* Mental capacity to remember all the material (esp. given its useless outside of the interview loop)
The flip of the coin are people who can't put in the time due to e.g. family obligations, don't have the motivation, or don't have the mental capacity.
> The regulators consider it to be more like an asset class
Being an asset is also applicable in my opinion. But assets and securities are not the same, and this is what's changing - regulators switching the categorization from assets (which was implicitly and somewhat explicitly the state until now) to securities.
Are fiat currencies treated like securities? No. Are there "best execution requirements" when I exchange my USD for EUR. No. Did somebody have to register the Brazilian Real with the SEC for it to be exchangeable in the US? No.
My colleagues are all smart, experienced and very motivated. They have taught me a lot (not just Scala :)) and even though I'm quite new I'm already working on some of the most critical components. We all take an active role in deciding the future of the product, including joining calls with customers and talking to them directly.
We have a very solid development process and care deeply about maintaining a high level of product quality. This is especially important for our on-premise users who have more controls around updating their deployment. We are all full-stack developers and take different roles on different issues which keeps us engaged with every part of the product. This is going to be even more vital now that the team is expanding rapidly.
We use Scala, Play, Backbone, and Docker (lots of it).
We have a massive roadmap and I am very excited about what's coming. I'm sure you will like it here!
Feel free to ask questions :)
