	Which version control systems are you familiar with?		Which version control systems are you familiar with?
	* Most recently git, ~~but~~ also svn (old reliable)~~. I refuse to use cvs~~.		* Most recently git - because it's universal, powerful, flexible, uses little resources, can handle extremely hairy conflict situations, scales to thousands of programmers, and by the way, if it's good enough for the Linux kernel development team it's good enough for me. I can also handle svn (old reliable), but any team still using svn is probably also running databases using Microsoft Access.

	What excites or interests you about coding?		What excites or interests you about coding?
			* I've always been fascinated by the idea of thought experiments - creating an abstract "universe" around a set of simple assumptions, and carrying out those assumptions to their logical conclusions. Programming makes it possible to do this.

	What is a recent technical challenge you experienced and how did you solve it?		What is a recent technical challenge you experienced and how did you solve it?
			* See [[Project Euler]] and [[AOCP]]

	~~If you have 5 different stylesheets~~, ~~how would you best integrate them into the site?~~

	Can you describe the difference between progressive enhancement and graceful degradation?		Can you describe the difference between progressive enhancement and graceful degradation?
			* Progressive enhancement is making small changes at a time; graceful degredation is letting something die slowly.

	How would you optimize a website's assets/resources?		How would you optimize a website's assets/resources?

	What is Flash of Unstyled Content? How do you avoid FOUC?		What is Flash of Unstyled Content? How do you avoid FOUC?
			* Not gonna lie, my site suffers from FOCU. It happens when you load a site, and there is a second where the site appears wtihout styling applied. It's confusing to know how to avoid this - because you're not "supposed" to load heavyweight javascript libraries like Angular at the beginning (to keep pages from loading slowly). Welp...

	What does CORS stand for and what issue does it address?		What does CORS stand for and what issue does it address?
			* CORS is cross-origin resource sharing - loading resources from a different domain. It "addresses" the issue of being able to include more stuff, but of course, it creates a cross-site scripting back door through which nasty or malicious things can be loaded.
