During an economic turndown when a lot of software engineers were unemployed, my work site was closed and I joined the ranks. At the time, it was common to ask candidates to write code on a whiteboard. I started a “Whiteboard Programming” group with other unemployed software engineers at a local library. We took turns giving each other problems, solving them in front of the group, and (the key) giving each other constructive feedback. Our group’s problem was that people kept getting jobs so it had to keep finding new members. I wonder what a modern equivalent would be? Perhaps using a computer and editor, plus allowing the candidate to look things up, as they’d do IRL. And it could be remote!Some takeaways, if you’re solving a problem with an audience:- Talk through your thought process aloud. Silent contemplation can look like you’re stumped.- How you respond to a mistake can be more important than not making any.If the employer is any good, they don’t just want to know that you’re fast at making working code, and they’ll understand that people learn and grow. They want to know how you think, how you approach problems (which tells them how well you’ll learn and grow), and what you’re like to work with.

If you can't solve a coding exercise on a technical interview, you can still be hired!If it happens, describe what went wrong, what the learnings are, and how you would improve next time.A retrospective explanation of the problem is more important than the right solution.

doing the interview using a cheatsheet vs doing that with what you remember on the spot. How many recruiters and technical interviewers didn't get that clear? A software engineer can be more dev/coding, more management, more testing, more ci/cd deployment, more design/analyst but it cant be all with the same level on each.
