What you are looking at
This roof has hips in every direction, and the shingle courses follow each hip without a jump. More hips means more cuts, and every cut edge is covered by a cap.
The roof vents let hot, damp air out of the attic. In summer that keeps the attic cooler, and in winter it helps keep the roof deck cold enough that snow does not melt and refreeze at the eaves as ice dams.
From the deck, the lower edge of the roof is at eye level, so that line has to be straight. It runs even the whole way across.
