Amen. And don't forget the "learn just enough to be dangerous" coding academies out there. Plus all of the developers that just Google their problem and use the blog/SO code from the first hit as their work. Finally we've got plenty of IDE's and plugins for said IDE's that can generate all the code you need, though without understanding why it was generated that way, what it really does, and how it will fail. In short, it's far too easy to fake being a coder. The Whiteboard is a great way to see if they can hack it, and hence it's been around for two decades or more. But then there are all the introverted Google search coders out there that don't like talking with other human beings. For them, whiteboard coding and being asked "why" they used this or that method is too much to handle, hence the cheers of "down with the whiteboard!"
