We don't hate whiteboard problems because they aren't fun. They're obviously fun for some people.

We hate them for interviews because they're a terrible signal for hiring, they're often poorly administered, they're humiliating, they discriminate against introverts, and they've become frustratingly common.

They unfairly mess with people's livelihoods. It is a really big, life-altering issue for some people.
