Personally I agree with idea. Software development and IT nowadays is complex. Do you really think that whiteboard interview can truly check anything? It will check if you can memorize definitions and patterns for solving tricky questions and that's it.
That might work for some type of people, however I work poorly under such stress, my mind goes blank and I can't remember simplest definitions. I don't want to work for FAANG, I'm not math genius, I don't specialize in theoretical CS.
I want to collect requirements, look for solution (often with help of the internet) and provide good enough solution that solves problem at hand.
Currently I work in DevOps. I can easily answer most questions from my team and help troubleshoot issues at different areas. Should I never work in IT, because on some interview, my mind goes blank and I struggle with question that can be easily answered by CS student?
