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 [email protected]

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?

Inspired by this article. Neat tricks for speeding up integer computations.

Note: cin.sync_with_stdio(false); disables synchronous IO and gives you a performance boost. If used, you should only use cin for reading input (don't use both cin and scanf when sync is disabled, for example) or you will get unexpected results.

Multiply by a power of 2

x = x << 1; // x = x * 2

	// UPDATE: In 2023, you should probably stop using this! The narrow version of Safari that
	// does not support `nomodule` is probably not being used anywhere. The code below is left
	// for posterity.

	/**
	* Safari 10.1 supports modules, but does not support the `nomodule` attribute - it will
	* load <script nomodule> anyway. This snippet solve this problem, but only for script
	* tags that load external code, e.g.: <script nomodule src="nomodule.js"></script>
	*
	* Again: this will not prevent inline script, e.g.:

	// check version
	node -v \|\| node --version

	// list locally installed versions of node
	nvm ls

	// list remove available versions of node
	nvm ls-remote

	// install specific version of node

	function foo(x) { x = (typeof x != "undefined") ? x : 10; .. }
	function foo(x = 10) { .. }

	function foo(x,y,z) { .. }; foo.apply(null,[1,2,3]);
	function foo(x,y,z) { .. }; foo(...[1,2,3]);

	function foo() { var args = [].slice.call(arguments); .. }
	function foo(...args) { .. }

	var o = { x: 2, y: 3 }, x = o.x, y = o.y, z = (typeof o.z != "undefined") ? o.z : 10;
