yh it does require the interviewer to make the candidate feel at ease. It can work like pair programming and I will give more guidance to more junior candidates. I will also encourage them to use Google or whatever else they need - I'm looking at how they approach the problem not their ability to remember basic syntax.

Sadly very view CVs that I see have GitHub profiles linked. The candidates that do certainly stand out. Refactoring a pull request is a good idea.
