I’ve heard technical interviews are just as much about seeing how you approach a problem as they are about you knowing the answer beforehand. But apparently seeing what I do and don’t need to google is not included in that sentiment.
They’re usually testing your problem solving skills rather than whether you’ve memorized a particular question - for example, how you approach the problem, how you break it down, etc. Having a good approach to problem solving in general is way more useful than memorizing common programming problems.

I’ll explain UDP, but I don’t care if you can hear me, and no questions.
It’s like TCP but faster
No handshake though (ΦへΦ)
I can’t hear you.
You should’ve chained comments under your own without anyone replying
much like how UDP works :)
This was me last week during an interview…

I’m usually trying to find out if the person will try to BS me, or if they will admit when they don’t know.
You can parse TCP headers, with uhm code.
so true
Error correction? Uhhh, yeah there’s probably a checksum in there somewhere.
I just tell ppl I’m autistic at that point lol
