Couldn’t disagree more. I hate whiteboarding and I never do it. Verbal explanations and pair programming work just fine.
I feel slowed down having to write out on a whiteboard when I could instead write some dummy code to get a point across. It just seems crazy to assume all developers everywhere must be good at white boarding.
I tend to move my hand faster than I can hand write, which is why I like typing for all forms of explanation.
Especially since I’m on a full remote team, whiteboarding would be really weird.
- linkregister 8y agoI can't recall ever having written actual code on a whiteboard in the course of doing actual work. I have, many times, sketched out a system's architecture or worked out some weird process using boxes and arrows. I'm sure a shared digital sketchpad would accomplish the same thing for remote workers.
