Abstraction: Campaign and resource listing companies that use whiteboard coding interviews

Key points:

• Argues whiteboard and live-coding interviews measure the wrong skills, amplify impostor syndrome, reduce diversity, and cause unnecessary stress
• Maintains a public list of companies that whiteboard to help job seekers avoid them
• Points job seekers to the "Hiring Without Whiteboards" GitHub repository listing companies with alternative processes
• Encourages candidates to decline whiteboard interviews and explain why, to create economic pressure on companies
• Asks engineers at non-whiteboarding companies to submit pull requests to the Hiring Without Whiteboards list
• Provides resources to help companies evaluate and reform their own interview processes
