<cf_threadjack action="continue">Yeah, that's one of my biggest issues with
the concept of the certification.  IMO, a "good" developer doesn't
necessarily have all of the answers in his head.  But he/she knows where to
find 'em when they're needed.

For my current job, I was on a phone interview and was asked a question
(generate a SQL statement to solve a particular problem) that I didn't know
the answer to offhand, but had recalled seeing a very similar question asked
on cf-talk just a few days earlier.  Googled, found it, and IM'd the guy the
answer.  I fessed up that I didn't know it, and told him where I got the
answer.  His response was that it didn't matter.  What mattered was that I
solved the problem.

I like my current job :)
