Am I allowed to check stackoverflow during your interview process?

I agree that ability to look things up is a major skill, but testing it reliably is difficult since it's so high variance.

So, no, I don't let people use reference materials including stack overflow. But I'll answer questions, and not judge them harshly for things that would easily be looked up.
