Effective Whiteboarding during Programming Interviews
- crunch_munch 13y agoCan't agree more. Going to a programming interview without practicing on the white board is pointless. You're setting yourself up for a failure.
- feralmoan 13y agowhy do people insist on making candidates write code on whiteboards anyway, its the exact opposite of 'right tool for the job'
- crunch_munch 13y agoIt has become the quick way for validating whether a candidate is suitable for the job or not. Some companies now go for tech-screens where they'll send you a problem to solve on the computer, but that's rare. When a candidate is solving a problem on the whiteboard, an experienced interviewer can make a good judgement. In my experience, anyone who's a good developer does well on the whiteboard. However, the inverse is not always true.
