I know this repo. I've used it a lot of times while interviewing front-end developers.

I would give anyone using it a tip of advice :

Use this list not as a TOC or a check list. Use it to remind yourself what you could actually talk with the person that is applying for a job.

I usually start with the questions and present them not as a real question, but as a more of a "topic of conversation". Like for example :

Question => Transformed into topic

"Which version control systems are you familiar with?" => "Have you used VCS on your previous job? Which VCS is your favourite?"

"Name 3 ways to decrease page load (perceived or actual load time)." => "Have you ever tried to improve google page speed index or your page speed at all?"

Next I will ask in a similar ways questions about HTML, CSS and so on. I could go deeper if I see a person is interested in what we are talking about.

Anyway I've been interviewing more than 10 persons with this list in front of me. I highly recommend it as a base of your interview.
