Some engineers think that whiteboarding is not clear enough ... that code snipts are better.

The key about whiteboarding is it take away all the specific syntax and gets to the heart of the understanding the logic.

Thats what collaberation is for, i think many young engineers that only code with an ide are nervious whrn they dont have autocomplete available and they lose focus on the core logic.

Programmerd used to write on paper ... this entire process (coding without the ide/search engine) is lost.

But this is the part where the programmer shoes their strength in logic ... not syntax memory.
