下面列表裡的問題對於參加技術面試的人來說可能有些用. 列表裡的問題並不一定適用於某個特定的職位或者工作類型, 也沒有排序. 最開始的時候這只是我自己的問題列表, 但是慢慢添加一些我想知道更多的問題和我可能對這家公司產生疑慮的問題. 我也注意到被我面試的人提問我的問題太少了, 感覺他們挺浪費機會的.

如果你問過的問題沒有被列出來, 請提交一個 PR.

This is a list of questions which may be interesting to a tech job applicant. The points are not ordered and many may not apply to a given position, or work type. It was started as my personal list of questions, which grew over time to include both things I'd like to see more of and red flags which I'd like to avoid. I've also noticed how few questions were asked by people I interviewed and I think those were missed opportunities.

If you asked something not listed here, send in a PR.

• 挑出下列問題你是否感興趣
• 查出下列答案哪些是你可以自己上網找到
• 都找不到的話就問問面試官

絕對不要把這個列表裡的每個問題都問過, 請尊重面試官的時間, 你可以主動找已被發布的答案, 來顯示你的積極性

請記住事情總是靈活的, 組織的結構調整也會經常發生. 擁有一個 bug 追蹤系統並不會保證可高效處理 bug. CI/CD (持續集成系統) 也不一定保證交付時間會很短.

• Check which questions are interesting for you specifically
• Check which answers you can find yourself online
• Otherwise ask

Definitely don't try to ask everything from the list. (Respect the interviewer's time and show initiative by finding answers on your own if they're already published)

Remember that things tend to be fluid, re-organizations happens often. Having a bug tracking system doesn't make bug handling efficient and CI/CD doesn't mean your time to deliver is necessarily short.
