In interviews I actively try to down play the companies I've worked for and the things I've done with them. The reason I do this is that I don't want people to come in with unrealistic expectations and expect me to live up to them. I also don't believe in preparing for interviews. I'm ok with the rough edges I have. I want my imperfections to come through on some level. Yes I have a preference for certain technologies. I love what I do. They should be more concerned if I didn't have an opinion. It doesn't always work out in my favor. shrugs Rarely, do I serve up great interviews back to back on different days. I'm an front-end guy because I love building them. That's all.
