> How is it the best way if you are not going to be writing code on a whiteboard on a daily basis on the job you are going to be interviewing for?

It's not. I hate whiteboarding as much as you but I try not to think of it that way. This method is just a way to increase your chances of succeeding. I've not succeeded in every interview, for sure.

I do what I must to press on. :(

The best thing to do is not to take the rejection personally. I always ask, as nicely as possible, what areas I should focus on to improve for the future.

Sometimes I get no response but I often get replies, good replies.

We do what we must.

It's about gaming the system to get a job. When you are in a position to hire other people, you can worry about a less awful method to select candidates.

That's true. I have other features that reduces my chances of getting hired, but doesn't eliminate them. Still, I wish I had someone else's mind.
