This is the only correct answer. White boarding is to coding what Foosball is to soccer.
In my last in-person interview they asked me a bunch of trivia that was a simple google search away - so of course, why would I bother memorizing those things? I got a dear john letter back saying I wasn't smart enough or some such, and it's like "oh great, being called an idiot by an idiot". And that's most of my interviews if I can get past head hunters that don't even bother to do their homework. Do you know "go long"? How would you solve this "cash-ay" problem? Yuck.
Sometimes I just wish people had some common sense and were reasonable and could think. But by and large people just do not give a crap to be good at their job because people by and large are just lazy and suck. Call me a pessimist but man are there some stinkers out there.

- masonic 8y agoWhite boarding is to coding what Foosball is to soccer My preferred analogy is that whiteboarding is to coding as rotisserie baseball (playing GM) is to playing baseball.
