What does this have to do with Stripe? They're pretty clear on this point: "Our questions seek to understand how people approach real world problems, rather than testing for esoteric skills you might demonstrate on a whiteboard.&q

Definitely not the lack of experience, there was plenty of in-house Scala experience. I'm not the author, but he has indeed written about his experiences with Scala on his personal blog: http://evrl.com/programming&#x2F

I am surprised that Hart's card is not highly collectible despite being extremely rare. Can someone shed light on why that would be the case?

The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho. Why think ahead, plan and make an effort to attain a goal when you can just go with the flow, really really believe and want, and let the universe take care of the rest. Then the author takes this "moral
