I made it clear I’d provide any answers to questions or functions or syntax they needed (because IRL they’d just google, so I’ll save them the time).

That right there is the difference between a shit interviewer and a golden interviewer. And that goes for a lot of technical roles, far too many just throw a "whiteboard" at you and just expect you to figure it out without any outside help, even though it goes against how even experts get things done in the real world :/

    There’s nothing worse than killing all momentum and dialogue while you wait for someone stressed out to waste 5 minutes google something and find the right documentation page. It just sucks.

    I also made it clear I’d hire people no matter how far they got as long as they communicated their plan and were able to solve problems. It’s not a real task, in real life you message your boss and say you need more time. I’m looking for “would I work with this person” and “what skills do they have, where can they improve, where would they fit on the team”.
