Yes you can bet the farm that if he interviews at Google, Facebook, Uber, Amazon, Dropbox, etc. they will all whiteboard his ass (if he even gets an interview --because of his age). They don't give a f' who you are or what you did. In my google onsite they didn't even ask about past projects (who cares really?). The question is can you whiteboard?

- petters 10y agoWhat she or he said is mostly true, though. But there are always exceptions.
- 0x445442 10y agoYeah, I can't imagine Rob Pike or Guido whiteboarding for their Google interview... Although the thought of such a conversation has me laughing internally. I created Unix, Plan 9, UTF-8 among other things. Just go ahead and put your dry erase pen back in your pocket sonny.
- nl 10y agoThe good thing about people who math often (which I presume he can since.. Octave) is that they can whiteboard.
