I'm sure my specific case isn't that common, but I'm fairly confident that there are a non-trivial number of people out there who can code but choose not to as a career path. I'm not questioning the argument about freque

A good WBI should feel like a discussion with a peer. While I think the interviewer has to be careful not to direct/guide things too much, they should be giving input/feedback/questions along the way, much like a coworker o

Sketching a picture can help for certain classes of problems, but I think that is far from universal: it often tends to be of less use for logical concepts than structural ones, for example. Beyond that, though, even when a sketch is a usef

People have been self teaching since before online was a thing, and the materials available online today are vastly better and more complete than what was available pre-web. You could just as well argue that someone isn't qualified to
