@ThePracticalDev Hiring is hard. Interviewing is hard. So far, 0 whiteboard interviews I have done have tested my real coding skills well.

@ThePracticalDev I disagree with this. In your professional role, whiteboarding your ideas and talking people through them is important.

@ThePracticalDev Just finished one. After 3 interviews today. Wrong schedule, interviewer fixing his schedule, my mind craving for a coffee.

@puppybits @ThePracticalDev How do you measure the time? Do they do the interview on site?

@puppybits If they do it offsite, do they self measure the time?
