Everyone.
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

You don't like the soapbox, do you?

Soapbox for religion and politics. Sex is very much a Lounge tradition. We're all just a bunch of wild and crazy guys and gals, around here!!

Plus, this is about security, not sex!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

More like security sex, as in the security f**ked up.

Guess how many will find their respective partner? This is serious joke stuff.

Apparently, Lesley Nielsen's details are on there.

I checked the lounge - but not the soapbox...

I'm pretty sure the hackers cheated to get that information

Oh, never heard of that one. I'll have to give it a look in a few months if they survive. Thanks for the tip.

So that explains the email I got this morning demanding my attention

As a follow on to this Insider News post[^] on the one question to ask candidates, I was wondering what you'd suggest for the reverse. What do / should you ask in the interview as the candidate?

I'm not entirely sure what sort of "employment" you are thinking of here
|

Well let me sleep on it, baby baby let me sleep on it...

Do you block access to codeproject.com & stackoverflow.com during working hours?

Where is my coffee?
I'd also recommend doing the 12 point Joel-test. (Is there source control, do you do daily builds etc.)

For me, it's the same question I ask candidates:
"Are you a jerk?"

Who answers yes to that question?!
|
|

Obviously, that's not the precise question I ask. That is the question in my mind throughout an interview, though.

Two here:
- Which subset of the parent company's products does this particular office location contribute to; and how important is this subset in the overall product portfolio?
- What are your plans to further strengthen the unique strengths of this particular office location as against other office locations (with reference to domain expertise, special skill sets, etc.)?
Answers to these questions are not likely to be on the company's website, and these questions may need to be posed diplomatically; I've just given the raw questions here.

There are a few "how's the weather?" questions I asked (sorry, not just one):
- Do you use source control (you'd be surprised how many companies in this day and age say no, or if they say yes, don't really use it except as a backup system.)
- What development methodologies do you use? If they answer "Agile", my response, besides laughing hysterically, is "everyone claims to use Agile, but do you really know how to use it?"
- Who are your investors / are you profitable yet? As a followup to "no, not profitable yet", I ask to see their business plan. I kid you not. It's quite fun watching people squirm.
- What's your work remote policy? (This is usually the clincher for me.)
