Maybe it is because I have a ton of code online for anybody to read that nobody wants to waste their time watching me write code on a whiteboard for hours. Sure, I will get asked to write some code in an interview but it is usally something quick and dirty just to validate thinking through a problem with a bit of pressure.
Honestly, in my experience, most application problems can be reasonably talked through without writing any code.
- sanderjd 10y agoLots of people have lots of code online. Lots of companies don't take that into consideration when interviewing. I share your experience that most problems can be reasonably talked through without writing code, but most people here are talking about a specific kind of interview that does not work that way.
