1. Create a new check in Pingdom
2. Give it a name that you'll remember, like accounting-watchman
3. Set your check interval. We recommend 1m or 5m checks.
4. Plug in the endpoint url, like `https://accounting.waveapps.com/watchman/
5. Open up Optional Settings. Under Check for string, change the first dropdown to Should not contain, and add "ok": false in the input field
6. Test your check, and then save it if everything looks good!

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?".
