It's hard to maintain any self confidence when your skills are consistently boiled down to "can your code compile in a Google doc". Whiteboard coding tests for only one type of skill, only a small part of which is actually a part of the job.

@FeyTechnologist Totally understand--been in the business for a few decades and I still hate this stuff when I've had to go through it.

But I've also been on the other sides of the desk, too. Hiring competent people is way harder than most realize, and we often end up using these kind of things to compensate (poorly) for that.
