Is it already that time of the week?

People were complaining about whiteboard coding interviews in the 1990s and they are complaining about it today. Meanwhile the tech industry has managed to hire millions of incredibly smart people and done pretty well for itself in that period. The interview process isn't going to change. There is no reason for it to change. Your options are to either suck it up and brush up on basic data structures and algorithms or interview at places that don't test for it. Just don't hold your breath waiting for the world to change for you.

The article is about the fact that if you did just this, you're at a disadvantage because people use Chat GPT to cheat on these and get ahead.

That’s not what this article is about. It actually suggests people who love whiteboard interviews are losing here.

I hired hundreds of people without coding sessions, because although you are right, they also hire a lot of bad people, who are just good at selling themselves. As bigger the company gets, as easier it is to deal with the unnecessary cost of wrong hirings, it's just a number game.

So no, I didn't wait for the world to change for me, I changed it myself ;).
