In these free-form discussions I find it really important to politely disagree with some technical decision of their project to see how they take the feedback and defend the decision. Red flags are when they either cannot accept disagreement or come up with questionable justifications. Correct answers include clear explanations of what the trade-offs would be and clear rationale for their original decision process.
- clairity 12y agothis is a good point. one developer i hired had the spark but not the maturity to deal with disagreement objectively. he has trouble communicating and working with others. he has potential, so i'm hoping he grows out of it over time.
