> We test how opiniated the candidate is when it comes to technology by asking outrageous questions (relative to the Status Quo): Why dependency injection is bad. We like people with opinions, but we find difficult to work with "evangelists".
This is a great point. The more senior someone is, the more often their answer should end up, 'it depends'. Evangelists often end up not following the standards set in an existing project causing all sorts of maintenance issues later. They also often to seem to always be arguing for rewrites because it doesn't fit their opinionated view of the world.
