Re:Allow “Phone a Friend” during Technical Interviews? by codegeek on Monday February 04, 2013 @12:23PM (#5165486)
This. Technical interviews are important but their purpose should not be to check whether you know a particular function/API whatever. Their purpose should be to take a real world problem and show the interview how you resolved it. Sure, remembering specific details of a technical subject is always handy but just because I don't remember the function that does task 'x' in language 'y', doesn't mean that I cannot use it.
