I hate whiteboard coding interviews. Enough that I’ve taken a sub-notebook computer with me to interviews. One in particular: they asked me to write some code on the whiteboard, knowing it would take some time; I popped open the computer and Eclipse, told them (several people at once) to just continue the interview while I coded. Fielded four lines of questioning and still had running code in 10 minutes. Got the job (turned it down).

I hate ‘testing’ interviews so much I refuse to do them anymore

When someone asks if I will do a ‘brain bench’ I tell them no, I have been doing this for 25 years- I don’t want or need to be taking tests anymore.

The last time someone asked “what is the difference between a Class and a Struct?” I said- go look it up... and ended the interview
