> How is prowess in a game of "gotcha" an important indicator of engineering skill? It's not; I couldn't agree more. In real life when using engineering "skill", not only am I not anxious/stressed by trying to write on a whiteboard, but I'm using my laptop, with my editor, as well as access to man pages, docs, and google to look things up. In addition to the overemphasis of performance responses, I think "how much do you know from memory with 10 seconds of thinking" vs "how much do you know with 10 seconds of google" is useless. The only fairly complex datastructures I can perfectly describe from memory are the ones which I used most recently... |
