When interviewing I'm observant to how candidates respond to various 
suggestions for improving their code. Some put effort in assessing the 
value of the suggestion and incorporate it if they find it good, or 
discuss it if they don't. Some others just make it a point that they 
didn't make a mistake, do all they can to defend code as is, and 
generally are unwilling to change code (even if sometimes is severely 
broken). That's a red flag.
