If you want a guy to teach to jump through hoops on command, to bark and roll over, then I'm just not a good candidate for the job. You have failed my interview as much as I have failed yours at that point.
Look, I have been doing this for longer than some junior developers have been alive, and I have more than enough financial stability to be able to turn down offers. When I look for a job, I'm not looking for a way to pay the next month's bills or a means to get rich, I'm looking for somewhere I can make a meaningful difference.
You're not really convincing me, but I have been doing this for some time too. There have been a bit too many times when someone has been "working independently on large project" that turned out to be a total dumpster fire and I have had to clean up the mess. The hero programmers behind these projects all thought they were making a meaningful difference.
