    1. Why do otherwise-respectable companies still have whiteboard interview questions about code? It's completely boneheaded.

    They take out many self-taught applicants first, because most self-taught people didn't spend their time writing fizzbuzz—they built apps.

      Computer science at my school is taught mostly on paper. They write code with pencils, and build a few projects, but no apps.

        And so kids can write Java programs that spit out multiplication tables, but can't make apps, websites, or real things.

          In my experience, building apps and working on teams has almost nothing in common with coding puzzles or whiteboard tricks.
