ok so - I took dan's classes/hooks code from react conf, blacked out the 'unnecessary' bits, then colour coded bits by 'concern'. so much nicer. the effect is amplified in more complex components, where concerns are split and mixed across lifecycle methods.

not only should you be allowed to google during a tech interview, but that should be a skill you're allowed to display; it shows how well you can ask questions, augmenting your ignorance of details, etc. googling lets you thicken the arms of your T-shaped skillset.
