"if you've worked with a technology stack you should be able to recall the function names, parameter order, and basic pseudo code syntax to write answers to questions."
That's not true unless you work with very narrow technology or single framework. For example, good luck trying to remember all these POSIX API functions. I don't even try to remember mundane things by heart, because it takes a precious and very limited resource (brain memory) for a very small gain (few seconds saved that would cost to look it up).

Actually, most engineers do. That's why huge books of nothing but formulas, lookup tables, and reference data exist.
