I've worked at quite a lot of companies. Many of us will, occasionally, grab a room / whiteboard to go over something but 99% of the time it's a sort of flow or UX type thing.
I've _never_ seen someone, or have asked to participate in, some sort of whiteboard coding thing. Even with pseudo code. That just doesn't seem helpful to me, at all.

Agreed; when there is code talking, we share screen on a projector/flatscreen and do it that way. How is writing code on a whiteboard good for anyone? Cumbersome and not reusable.
