Someone could write that up as a play. A tragedy in three acts: Act 1: The resumé review and phone screening. Act 2: The interview, in all it's horrific glory. Act 3: Dead silence as the perfect candidate tries in vain to find out why the company won't call them back.

I frequently defend whiteboard coding as an interview practice. I’d be happy to live code on a whiteboard in public to defend that view (and, more usefully, to try show what separates a good whiteboard coding exercise from a bad one).

yeah, as another occasional defender of some aspects of the form, that could be fun

Great idea! Or how about an ‘are you smarter than a CS undergrad’ session, pitting 25+ year veterans against kids who just stepped out of an algorithms class; the questions would all be big-O complexity and fizzbuzz.

I think I would be perfect to play the young manager with 3 years experience who fell upward and thinks they're \$DIETY's gift to the interview process, and treats the whiteboard as if it were imported from Delphi.
