I applaud you! Whiteboarding (sounds like waterboarding) is an archaic practice and should be discontinued. A new hiring and vetting method needs to be invented. I also don't agree with these "coding puzzle" websites where you do silly questions to show your skills and "score respect". All technical interviews today are very confrontational by nature. Both parties start off on the wrong foot. There needs to be some sort of hybrid. I like to make the analogy to driver's licenses. There should be something like developer licenses that the industry defines and agrees upon. If you have a developer license for Android, for example, then companies should know that they can hire you for an Android project. Its silly for someone like me to go to every single company that wants to talk and jump through the same hoops every time to demonstrate competency. The conversation that we have in 30-40 minutes is given more weight than my entire track record over several years, which is just absurd. Each company also has to divert their energy from their core work to develop their own hiring practices. The same problem is being solved over and over by each company which is just a total waste of time. It is not fun for either side.
