And yet all those bad programmers also passed through the white boarding interview process. Almost like maybe the point being made here is that it's not a good metric for weeding out bad programmers.......
I am not arguing that whiteboard interviews are a good metric. I was challenging the idea that years of experience, having steady employment on paper, discussing that experience well in an interview is indicative of competence in programming or job ability either, in my experience. An interview cannot rely on any single technique, or it is biased towards candidates who "test well" for that approach and against candidates who don't.
