I agree. It is getting out of hand. I try to be more pragmatic in my interview process. I don't expect candidates to be passionate because the company isn't their dream. I expect the owner to be passionate, but the rest of us are just here to pay the bills. Therefore, I don't bother looking for passion. What I do want is somebody who has coding experience and someone I'd enjoy working with. I focus all my questions around those two goals, with a greater emphasis on the second.
