I code all day. I don't have a whiteboard, I don't use a whiteboard. I can expect whiteboard-questions but that doesn't help anything. Am I supposed to practice them? Why can't you be happy just giving me a laptop, or a pad and paper, or something I'm used to?
- steven2012 13y agoAll of the above is fine with me. It doesn't have to be a whiteboard, it's just the term that I use to coding on the spot, which admittedly probably isn't accurate. When I interviewed at my current company, I did everything on a pad of paper.
- eikaterine 13y agoI can code on a whiteboard, but it's certainly not something I enjoy. So when interviewing, I often ask for pen and paper. Just like a whiteboard, I have to write code without a computer and IDE, but unlike a whiteboard, I don't have to stand and write code in a position I'm not used to, with a tool I'm not used to (and let's be honest, whiteboard markers are kind of a pain to write with). If I'm going to be disqualified based on my choice of writing medium, well, I probably wouldn't be that keen on working there anyway.
