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?".

This tweet explains it all.

I have a huge pile of papers on my computer waiting to be read. Often I read parts of it immediately after I see the paper, but I forget about it until someone points on another article, how awesome that paper is. I then remember to read it more carefully.

One way to fix it is to work with like minded people and have serious (non-hand wavy) discussion around the paper.

The list below will grow. My hard disk has more papers than I can count. I have carefully chosen a list of very readable papers in the list below. Special thanks for the authors for publishing their great ideas.

// Implementation of Matcher.replaceAll differs in Android and JDK
// In JDK, if a group has not been captured, it is replaced with ""
// In android, it is replaced with the string 'null'
// This is annoying. Can't really be fixed without fully encapsulating the class
// So, rewriting replaceAll algorithm
// So we'll just do backref replacement and pass it back to the original replaceAll
private String replaceAll(Matcher matcher, String input, String replacement) {
    // Process substitution string to replace group references with groups
    int cursor = 0;
    StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
