The pilot episode for the “Whiteboard Challenge” will premiere on
September 21, 2019 in Los Angeles at the Cinemark threatre beginning
at 1pm followed by the tech event after party across the street at
Industrious beginning at 2:30pm.
For those unfamiliar with a Whiteboard Challenge, it is a tech
industry interviewing practice where naturally introverted software
engineers are asked to step out of their comfort zone by solving a
code challenge in front of a panel of hiring managers.
A technique to overcome anxiety and pass this examination is for
engineers to memorize common algorithms and answers even though the
questions asked will most likely never be used once hired in the role.
The algorithm solved on the pilot episode is a basic form of the
formula used in the creation of randomized levels for games and
determining the quickest route for driving directions.
This practice is comparable to requiring a novelist to compose an
original story based on random requirements in front of a panel of
publishers despite having decades of best sellers.
The “Whiteboard Challenge,” created by Michael Kureth and
co-produced by Michael Garcia and Daniel Munoz, is the first and only
show of its kind featuring an intelligent and comedic take on the
software engineering interview process in the form of a game talk
show.
The racially and gender diverse show includes an entire cast of
software engineers. Of the host, three judges, and three contestants,
no one on the show is an actor.
Three judges with hiring management experience discuss tech industry
topics with the host while each contestant solves the code challenge.
After one contestant is eliminated, the final two compete in a
nanosecond timed playback of their code.
Each contestant on the show portrays a prevalent societal topic with
women in tech, age discrimination, and homelessness.
The judges on the show represent Latino and African American
engineering leadership in tech.
Following in the tradition of an actual interview where personal
preference weighs in the hiring decision, the winning contestant at
the premiere will be influenced by the number of votes received.
At the tech event, attendees are encouraged to volunteer and donate to
People Assisting The Homeless who will be present along with many
startup companies in the tech community.
An open bar with free food await guests attending the after party who
can remember this historic moment on the red carpet with pictures
taken by a professional photographer.
All homeless software engineers in the Los Angeles area may attend the
event for free. Any software engineer who passes the code challenge
will receive a discounted ticket.
