The recent example was a large, international company. I mentioned this in the post.

> Your job is to do _the thing_

Like I said in the post, I do what I get paid to do, and the idea is to figure out how to avoid a place where "the thing" is inappropriate. I have an easier time at startups: I'd rather spend 12 hours a day doing something that matches my talent and interests than spend 8 hours a day saying "Yeah, the button is...I don't know why it is where it is. It looked fine to me before, I don't wanna spend two days on this."

That button conversation is way too real. Front end dev here, and I've probably spent at least 20 hours this year just in meetings about fonts.

I hope you find what you're looking for.
