I have a question for you. I'm comfortable answering those coding questions, but not on a whiteboard.
Would you be OK if instead of writing on the white board, I whipped out my laptop and coded the answer there in front of you? If the answer is no, I would happily walk out of the interview knowing I would not be a good fit for the company.
- nradov 16y agoAs a interviewer I always give candidates a choice: white board, paper, or text editor. The majority choose paper.
- heresy 16y agoI have a similar problem with transcribing my thought processes into little diagrams that other people can follow, yet it's the easiest thing in the world to explore the ideas with code. Not sure why that is. Are you also self-taught, by any chance?
