Why do you think you're overworked? Why do you think it is extremely difficult to hire cost-effective devs?

Devs like this can sometimes manage to glide by because the people interviewing them (for low-range salaries/hourly work, anyway) aren't themselves technically competent & are easy to impress via jargon and conceptual sleight-of-hand (basically, a Nerd Savvy performance)

It's not the case that *anyone* can be a strong dev... but for a long time, you were expected to play the Nerd Savvy game for access to the market — e.g. have strong opinions on vim/emacs, be able to whiteboard runnable code, etc. Wrt creative problem-solving, it's a distraction.

One issue is that when you code in a text editor you will typically write lines in a different order than the one they ultimately appear in. Difficult to do this on a whiteboard. And that's just one way in which they mess with the way people normally think.

FWIW I think “what is wrong with whiteboard coding interviews” would make for a great design/UX interview question.
