I've interviewed engineers on computer science problems on a whiteboard and those who did great turned out to do great on the actual job.
That's a one way implication. It is possible there are people who do poorly on coding interviews but great on the job.
Whiteboard coding is simply a quick test that has few false positives in my experience (around 40 interviews).

- yakshaving_jgt 8y agoThere are few facts to make the case in either direction, so the anecdotes are valuable. Of course it's a bit of a shame that the one comment not subject to HN groupthink is [predictably] all the way at the bottom of the page.
