I've said this before but perhaps the most important thing about working at Reaktor is the people you get to work with. As an example of the kind of devotion to the profession, here's a photo I just snapped of a book that a coworker had ordered.

Yes, you're looking at a COBOL book. And we're mostly a Java shop with exactly zero COBOL projects (although some of our finance industry clients are still running large parts of their business on mainframes). With this in mind, I can only admire one's desire to learn new things when I see someone picking up a COBOL book purely out of interest.
