My problem with the whiteboards and hackerrank tests is that it is an entirely different ability.

Writing algos from memory on a whiteboard is not what I do in my job. It isn’t a subset of what I do in my job. It isn’t something I have ever done in a job at all. You may as well be giving me a first year chemistry final.

So it is just something I drill, forget, and then re-drill when I want a new job.

I am fine with take homes though.
