Interesting they don't hire any technical talent it seems, or am I missing something?

If that's the case (which I'm now doubting considering what they teach) I can only see the bottle neck being onboarding. It can take a lot of effort and time to get one developer up to speed, never mind dozens of them in a matter of months.

Product encompasses the overall engineering / design talent.

That's correct - product for us includes development, design, and support.

Interesting. Hope that leads to a new blog post, how to bring all of these talented engineers up to speed at the same time while keeping the product on track.
