I had been thinking about it on and off and as a 40+ old engineer trying to pivot into Software, and i get cold feet whenever i think of the hazing practices currently in place to "weed" out bad hires. I am not against the concept of white-boarding but why bother with arcane algorithms that no one uses in the industry. But at present, I am focused on getting my first product out rather than pivot into Software Engineering as a career. A god way to really gauge my interest and also my persistence as a solo founder.


These practices aren't universal. Most jobs I've interviewed for have asked me practical questions. Just don't do the interviews you don't want to do.
