Is encyclopedic knowledge of something that can be searched online a good heuristic for skill? I thought the community agreed this was not a good thing when it came to fizz-buzz type software interviews.

IMO in frontend world there are two important things: knowing how to search, and knowing how to determine which search results are useful as opposed to some Medium/blogpost fluff piece that is varying degrees of misinformed.

If you have experience with a framework, you should naturally be able to list things you commonly use.

I was recently at an interview where they just asked me to name a list of CloudFormation functions I’ve used and what did I use them for. If I listed that on my resume as something I knew, it was fair game.
