&quot;We currently use a white board for most of the coding exercises. I am not satisfied with this because it penalizes different ways of thinking and communicating.&quot;<p>So ask the interviewee to bring in a laptop (since he&#x27;ll already have everything set up the way he&#x27;s used to). Or buy one for this specific purpose. The answer is so simple. Instead they choose to complain about it. Any other solution is wrong. And while you&#x27;re at it, shut the fuck up while your interviewer is working on your stupid problems. That will go a really long way.<p>Then again, a place that hires someone who can&#x27;t see this obvious solution is not a place I want to work at.
