Nobody should be either afraid or unwilling to do 'whiteboarding', rather, it should be an opportunity. It's not perfect, but reasonably structured it's a good thing.
Academic credentials are not necessarily conducive to great dev talent ... OSS with lots of stars is a much better measure, but even then, it's not a guarantee of anything.
Companies have to be responsible about their due diligence.
I personally suck at whiteboarding, even though I'd say I'm pretty good at actual coding. I'd rather not put myself at a disadvantage, so that's why I avoid whiteboarding interviews.
Yea this is the thing, I’m terrible at white boarding but I have an amazing github that can show what I’ve done. An amazing github presence should far exceed any whiteboarding
