It was just the speed with which things were changing, how the team had to pivot constantly with requests and with different laws being approved, and with moving functionality. Every day was a moving target. They were never bored. Again, there were a lot of things that were changing constantly, so it was about knowing the people who were not complacent or compliant with sitting and doing just one job but who were prepared to wear many hats, to step up and work weekends and to do long evenings because, again, we didn't miss a deadline. The team worked for two years and hit every deadline, as I mentioned, with over 150 releases of the application.
