Pretty sure this backlash is orchestrated as part of the campaign itself to boost the visibility of the ad.

The proof is: here we are talking about it.

The climate change argument will hopefully be moot within a couple years as we trend towards proof of stake based networks.

Personally, I've already spent months doing unpaid work on testing sites, and yet I'm still stuck in the same place.

Have others encountered this? I have not but I do wonder if the hiring process is becoming more demanding / time consuming.

Maybe the author needs a coach or needs to network more.

Re:Engineering whiteboard interviews: yay or nay? on Thursday August 09, 2018 @03:45PM (#17727788)
To me, it's not about the code on a whiteboard vs a computer and correctness.

It's about the thought process when breaking down a problem and the ability to organize and communicate their thoughts. It's also about exploring a problem space. How carefully does an engineer consider edge cases? What kinds of things are important to them?

A whiteboard to me is a much simpler and accessible medium through which to explore a problem vs setting up an environment and having to type code and dealing with all the minutiae that comes with actual development.

Of course, it isn't the ultimate method of evaluating a candidate but it's certainly valuable.
