They might think you expect them to dislike it. Also, maybe they fear if they say they like PHP you'll take points off.

- hu3 6y agoThat goes for any question in interviews. I expect honesty and I'm straightforward about it.
- pizza234 6y agoThis is not really a question like any other, because it's a very polarizing one. It's fair to intentionally ask polarizing questions if the objective is to find how if a candidate can take moderate positions in those contexts, but it's definitely not like "any question in interviews".
- hu3 6y agoFair enough. It's not comparable to just any question. But hear me, you have to poke the bee's nest with some polarizing questions to really know what's inside otherwise you're stuck hiring an unknown until it's too late and costly (for both parties) to find out they were not a good match.
- winrid 6y agoI'm not saying don't ask it. If anything it can reveal personality issues like any question. Just saying as a statistic it's not reliable. :P
