We evaluate candidate with following categories of questions:

1. Soft skills
2. Code quality
3. General programming knowledge
4. Functional programming
5. Object oriented programming
6. Security by design
7. Open source

• [ ] Add the categories into this google form
• [ ] Randomly pick 30% of questions for each category. This way total amount of questions should be ≈10, other questions could be asked during IRL interview depending on first answers. ⚠️ Update: bad news is that Google form can randomize questions so we will create 3 forms instead of a single one 😉
