A lot of these are outright stolen from Edward O'Campo-Gooding's list of questions. I really like his list.

I'm having some trouble paring this down to a manageable list of questions -- I realistically want to know all of these things before starting to work at a company, but it's a lot to ask all at once. My current game plan is to pick 6 before an interview and ask those.

I'd love comments and suggestions about any of these.

I've found questions like "do you have smart people? Can I learn a lot at your company?" to be basically totally useless -- everybody will say "yeah, definitely!" and it's hard to learn anything from them. So I'm trying to make all of these questions pretty concrete -- if a team doesn't have an issue tracker, they don't have an issue tracker.

I'm also mostly not asking about principles, but the way things are -- not "do you think code review is important?", but "Does all code get reviewed?".

The @dhh Drinking Game

Take a drink whenever @dhh:

1. Drops the f-bomb (or says "shit")
2. Makes fun of Java (or Struts, Hibernate, etc)
3. Mentions "frameworks should be extractions, not inventions"
4. Mentions "constraints are liberating"
5. Defends TurboLinks or the asset pipeline
6. Mentions Basecamp
