Wow, yeah, I'd say you dodged a bullet then! That's pretty dystopian.

Are you sure? At my company we have very flexible time, and due to city traffic, many people come in around 11-noon, meaning they choose to leave around 7-9. This is much more convenient for them because of the traffic, and sometimes it better matches a spouse's schedule, or allows them to do something in the mornings they wouldn't normally be able to do. It may have been an indicator of a really good place to work. (Which isn't to say you're wrong. It very well may have been a warning sign.)

> The sentiment they are trying to get across is that they want someone who won't let problems lie and who will proactively execute on fixes without waiting for permission or being assigned the work by a tech lead or manager.

I find that's rarely what they want. I've often seen cases where there's some fundamental architectural flaw that will make future development extremely difficult, only to be told, "Don't worry about these things - just ship something!"

Yeah, that's going to break really soon, and we'll be running around trying to put out fires because of your incompetence. If I were the owner of this, I'd fix it immediately, or at least prioritize it reasonably so we don't screw ourselves in the future.

Frankly, I'm fine with the current situation. I can buy ala carte stuff on iTunes, Amazon, and a few other services. I can subscribe to a few "networks" or whatever you want to call them, that consistently provide good original shows (like Netflix and HBO).

On the rare occasion that a show that I would like to watch is on a service I don't have, I can either, wait a year for it to become available ala carte (like GoT on iTunes, for example), I can watch at a friend's house, or I can just find something else to watch because there's so much good stuff on.

I can't think of any compelling reason to subscribe to either services with ads, or to dozens of streaming services. I won't get to watch everything, but honestly, I don't have time to watch everything. It's still cheaper and way less annoying than cable TV. Even if it weren't cheaper, I'd still do it because it's that much less annoying than cable TV.

Yes it does. This is similar to what is shown on the video scopes of television engineers in the luma waveform view.
