Well, when you give a hilariously bad interview question...

  It's not a bad interview question, if you think it is, you perhaps haven't had enough experience with candidates applying to programming jobs who talk a good talk but can't program to save their lives.

    Well, technically, as a programmer and not enterpreneur you shouldn't be expected to have "experience with candidates applying to programming jobs who talk a good talk but can't program to save their lives".

      No one said programmers were expected to; however, not having that experience makes judgement of what is or isn't a bad question baseless. FizzBuzz and all such trivial code tests are fantastic interview questions because most applications can't program, that is exactly the point and purpose of FizzBuzz, weeding out liars of which there are many due to high salaries in comparison to other fields.

  Yeah, hopefully this kind of question is handled in a phone screen before bringing them in.
