this is true but at the same time i think great programmers are also really resourceful. cutting off those resources in a standup can make it difficult to evaluate a candidate, especially if the programming question is something that only one party knows about. i think being able to figure out how to get the right answers is much more important than having the candidate know an arbitrary one that the interviewer asks.
