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?".

Maps are not Parcelable and this is an issue in Android when they need to be passed to activities and services via Intents. The corresponding Map-like object in Android is the Bundle. Bundle is a more generic container, it doesn't enforce types via generics and isn't supported natively by JSON deserializers such as Gson. This utility class expos…

ruby-1.9.3-p327 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p327 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

Requirements

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.

HenrikJoreteg / JS Util solution using underscore.js
Created October 22, 2010 21:20
Rather than creating some other util global, just extend underscore.js with any additional methods you want.
// If you don't use underscore.js, use it (http://documentcloud.github.com/underscore/)
// Then, use underscore's mixin method to extend it with all your other utility methods
// like so:
_.mixin({
escapeHtml: function () {
return this.replace(/&/g,'&amp;')
.replace(/>/g,'&gt;')
.replace(/</g,'&lt;')
.replace(/"/g,'&quot;')
.replace(/'/g,'&#39;');
