I've had the opposite experience. In >10 years of software, I've never written code on a whiteboard outside of an interview. Systems layout, designs, code pathing, sure; but never real, compilable code. I agree with the last point, but I don't think either of us can tie our anecdotes to it.

There is something to be said for the soft-skills evaluation being relative to the expectations of the job position, sure. I'm saying: I find it odd that I rarely see these types of studies discussing the merits of that nuance. Especially when the idea of differentiating between soft and hard skills is not something that would be foreign to the average interviewer. "Interviews are 100% for soft skills and technical evaluations are 100% for hard skills" seems to be a common assumption which I'd argue is false. Few tasks a developer does is purely a hard or a soft skill, there's always some overlap.
