I would love to guarantee things like that. In fact: I'd love to guarantee no whiteboard coding for anyone, because whiteboard coding is stupid.

But we're just a goofy game company right now, not a force of nature.

Generally: if you're not into the CTF stuff for its own sake, because you like doing this kind of thing for fun, we're not asking you to be involved. We hate the idea of being another hoop to jump through.

If you dig CTF stuff and you're looking for a new gig, we're working on trying to be as helpful as possible for your job search. We're still figuring a lot of this stuff out.

not so. I've found it's an effective way to not only judge how people think, but also how they communicate and respond to live feedback.

I've been interviewing developers since 1996. Everyone who has ever done a whiteboard interview says this.

Are you interviewing people for some kind of live coding game show? If so: I concede your point.

> live coding game show

like Starfighter?

Huh? I don't follow. We're not hiring people with whiteboard interviews either.
