You would never hire somebody like me :). I write code in IDEs usually, and never basic console apps. Always inside of a framework or a bigger project.

Good luck creating a maven project archetype and getting it to work during a whiteboard session. I would choke so hard on a basic "make a console app to display these numbers". I don't even remember the calls to string split and console display in some of my favorite languages. Why? You'd be an idiot to use those over Log4net or whatever you use in real life.

You're asking a guy that might know how to design rockets how to put together a bicycle. A does not imply B in this case.

I've always thought whiteboard interviews were biased towards those straight out of school, since that's the only place you would write toy apps that use basal language features.

On the other hand, I've got a ton of my own libraries on my Github and some of them are pretty popular. It's abundantly clear that I wrote all of these since they're all published in official package managers with my private keys.

I see things from the other direction. An employer too lazy to check my github and verify my credentials probably sucks.
