This submission is surprisingly not satire, and misses the points of the arguments around whiteboard coding. (the added interview stress and the limited real-world applications of the code in day-to-day work)

It is not an accurate measure of candidate technical skill, hence the rise of take-home tests. (the submission reminds me of the blog post "I Won't Hire You If You Can't Pass These Programming Questions Because Otherwise You Suck" that was written awhile ago but I can no longer find. That post backfired hilariously because author provided the wrong solution for one of the questions.)
