Well yeah, ok. But if you're any good, you shouldn't have a problem with that either.

Whiteboarding, sure. Homework assignment that takes 8 hours, as the author experienced? No way. I'm good, my hourly rate reflects that, and I don't work for free.

See I'm the inverse. I'd take the 8 hour project over the whiteboard.

Thinking in a quiet, relaxed environment beats trying to reason through a problem while also thinking about how you are "performing."
