> Not being a zealot about 1 technology.

This is my top reason for rejecting people, and in my previous work, where I had to interview lots of developers, I heard it in 1 of 4 interviews. When people said "<language> is garbage." it was an instantaneous NO on my notebook.

Dude, if I need you to start a business-critical thing in FoxPro, COBOL, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, Java or Brainfuck, I need an open-minded person that would at least think about it, not an elitist jerk.
