I'm grateful that some companies still offer technical tests and whiteboarding.

Had a mini heart attack everytime I see companies requiring significant open-source contribution.

The horror to imagine in the future when I decide to switch company, I won't be able to because of zero non-scribble repository in my github account.

It most likely depends on the company, too. Big and immensely popular companies might have that as a criteria to filter out all but the very best talent, but smaller yet still great companies might give you a chance if you present yourself as a talented and problem solving type of developer.
