How many times in your career have you needed to implement bubble sort without the ability to google it? In my experience I can say never and imagine that's what other people would say too.
I don't think the point is that we should take pride in not knowing things so much as that perhaps this way of evaluating potential hires is not very good. Doesn't seem controversial to point out that doing a technical interview that tests skills not required on the actual job might not work well for finding the people you need.
- oftenwrong 10y agoI want to hire people that can write robust, maintainable software. Unfortunately, I do not know how to test for that. At my company we do not do algorithm quizzes because, for better or for worse, algorithm mastery is not really important for most of our work. We mainly talk about work experience in the interview.
