I did this while hiring last year and the number of candidates who got stuff wrong because they were too proud to just look up the answer was shocking.

- emseetech 2y agoIs it pride or is it hard to shake the (reasonable, I'd say) fear the reviewer will judge regardless of their claims?
- ryandrake 2y agoExactly. You never know. Some interviewers will penalize you for not having something memorized and having to look it up, some will penalize you for guessing, some will penalize you for simply not knowing and asking for help. Some interviewers will penalize you for coming up with something quick and dirty and then refining it, some will penalize you for jumping right to the final product. There's no consistency.
- staticautomatic 2y agoI do what I can to allay that fear. The rest is up to them.
