Lay off the strawman, whiteboard programming is not handwaving.
And I can do without the ad hominem as well. No, I haven't done a lot of interviews (about 6-7 I think), but my post still has a substance that can be argued against.
> You're seriously arguing against having somebody actually code in their interview?
No, I have no problem with coding in an interview (I think it should be part of it, just not the part where you do something else). I have a problem with generalizing the advice "When asked to do whiteboard programming, whip out your laptop.".
