A list of questions you could ask while interviewing

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?".

Migrate repo from GitLab to GitHub Full blog post @ http://ruby.zigzo.com/2015/03/23/moving-from-gitlab-to-github/
# Assume we are in your home directory
cd ~/
# Clone the repo from GitLab using the `--mirror` option
$ git clone --mirror git@your-gitlab-site.com:mario/my-repo.git
# Change into newly created repo directory
$ cd ~/my-repo.git
# Push to GitHub using the `--mirror` option. The `--no-verify` option skips any hooks.
