> I don't believe that technical interviews are broken and need fixing I think one of the reasons so many developers feel the process is "broken" is because it's all they know (i.e. most developers didn't have a previous profession). For most jobs it's not practical or possible to get any insight into how a person will do that job prior to hiring them. Whiteboarding isn't intended to perfectly mirror "real life coding" - it's intended to give some insight into one's ability to write software to solve a problem. It's not perfect (and it can certainly be done extremely poorly!), but it shouldn't be dismissed as broken or useless any more than one should suggest actors shouldn't have to audition for roles.
