@milkyway I have to agree to some extent. I'd much rather have a developer who can *AND WILL* search their issues online first than someone who has be spoon-fed each step.

AlmondSauce10"Can you give an example of a work-based conflict you were involved in, and how you went about resolving it?" ...
Interviewee was googling the answers to the technical questions on a Skype interview. Their CV said they had 2 years experience.
Us: "How does X work?"
Them: "Uhh...what's X?"
[clack clack clack of interviewees keyboard]
Them: "Oh.....X! [reads verbatim from the tutorial]"
We had some fun asking ridiculous questions for a while, seeing how big a hole they could dig for themselves. Once we got bored of making fun of them we ended the interview early. Much less awkward on Skype than IRL.
