I love the new screens with the reclining chairs. I've not been to the cinema much in the last 3 years (COVID plus children) but I only go to the cinema nearby that has the armchairs.

The thing is it's not even necessarily cheaper or quicker but it is more convenient. Rather than a show being on one of half a dozen services you can have it all in one place, e.g. Plex, and you know it will always be there. Especially if you're starting a long running show that could be dropped from the service before you've finished.

The only reason that people are talking about explicit consent is that so many people (yes, mostly men) were either not noticing or not caring that there wasn't even any implicit consent for their actions.
#MeToo was born out of people being abused and raped due to a culture that gave power to men who were beyond question. Change that culture and maybe we can go back to just having a bit of fun.

By specifically mentioning this, I would imagine it is something that is important to them. Therefore, somebody who doesn't agree with this way of working is not "suitable". In my experience, hiring people (however good) who do not agree with the company's core practices doesn't end well for either of them.
Unless it is something completely new to me and I am basically "playing with the tech" (which this does not seem to be) this is exactly how I would start the project. I find it easier to be organised from the start. Especially if, when I do take a wrong turn, I can revert easily to a previous commit.

I think you've just failed that part of the test. If you've got more than an extremely simple project there are multiple point s where you should commit.
If you implement a piece of logic with passing tests, then commit. It takes seconds to do but makes reviewing so much easier.
