> Most arguments I've seen claiming the incompetence of senior engineers are circular. Exactly! If someone has been implementing and delivering products for years/decades and they "fail" a whiteboard puzzle, which is more likely? A: The whiteboard puzzle doesn't actually measure anything correlated to delivering products. B: They can't actually develop anything, despite having repeatedly done so. I want to hire the people who can develop and deliver products, not the whiteboard puzzle specialists because I've never been at a company where solving whiteboard puzzles is something we do as part of the business.
