&gt; If they&#x27;re good enough to bullshit their way through an interview, they&#x27;re good enough to bullshit their way through a whiteboard programming session.<p>That&#x27;s not been my experience. I&#x27;ve met a fair number of ace bullshitters who fell to pieces when it came time to write any code. I&#x27;m not talking missing a semi-colon here or there; I&#x27;m talking closer to &quot;an observer who walked in afterwards might not be able to tell what problem I asked them to code.&quot;
