Questions to Ask Your Technical Interviewers

Questions to Ask Your Technical Interviewers

Questions marked as (HM) are best suited for the hiring manager.

Area: Alignment

  • Why are you working at this company? What motivates you to stay?
  • What’s something that if your team/org achieves this year, the entire company/leadership would notice?
  • If you had a magic wand, what’s one thing you’d change about the company?
  • (HM) If you had filled this role 2 months ago, what would they be doing now?

Uses the Puppeteer node module to extract the coverage JS from Chrome, for a specific URL.
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
// Include to be able to export files with node
const fs = require('fs');
// This prepares the filenames for the coverage .js files
function exportJSFileName(url) {
// Remove https:// from the beginning of the string
// Remove .js* from the end of the string

Extracting / Exporting custom emoji from Slack

Extracting Emoji From Slack!

Slack doesn't provide an easy way to extract custom emoji from a team. (Especially teams with thousands of custom emoji) This Gist walks you through a relatively simple approach to get your emoji out.

If you're an admin of your own team, you can get the list of emoji directly using this API: https://api.slack.com/methods/emoji.list. Once you have it, skip to Step 3

HOWEVER! This gist is intended for people who don't have admin access, nor access tokens for using that list.

Follow along...

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?".
