    I bundled these up into groups and wrote some thoughts about why I ask them!
If these helped you, I'd love to hear about it!! I'm on twitter @vcarl_ or send me an email carl.vitullo@gmail.com
Onboarding and the workplace

How long will it take to deploy my first change? To become productive? To understand the codebase?
What kind of equipment will I be provided? Will the company pay/reimburse me if I want something specific?

                a simple git branching model
              
          
    a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people.
I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena.
GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned  it
in this talk.
Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant
to get popular.

// NOTE:
// All mixins for the 2009 spec have been written assuming they'll be fed property values that
// correspond to the standard spec.  Some mixins can be fed values from the 2009 spec, but don't
// rely on it.  The `legacy-order` mixin will increment the value fed to it because the 2009
// `box-ordinal-group` property begins indexing at 1, while the modern `order` property begins
// indexing at 0.

// if `true`, the 2009 properties will be emitted as part of the normal mixin call
