She needs to google FizzBuzz? Christ, it is like my fucking underling all over again. This woman needs to study beauty therapy or something. People who hire useless people like this just don't realize how much they are ruining their colleagues lives. :((((((((


Is it that she hasn't heard of it, or that it's just a conditional? I don't even see the challenge but if they use it to filter out programmers maybe I'm missing something.


It's just a really simple problem to solve, even if you haven't heard it before. It shows that you know how to write a loop and apply some basic logic. I still learned how to code back in the day when I had a Borland Delphi manual and that was about it. There are far too many people out there who think that coding means using Google and copying some code from Stack Overflow and it really makes real developers lives difficult because we are invariable approached to fix the software that is just a massive Frankenstein blob of disparate code snippets badly sewn together.


Yeah. The only thing resembling a trick is modulus, but I've seen people I've given that task to come up with ways around it without using modulus necessarily. I'll say this, there's languages that I had on my resume that I haven't used in a long time and I couldn't do FizzBuzz in them without looking stuff off. I don't feel comfortable putting them there any longer frankly. This means I probably have to take Pascal off, Paul.
