- linkmotif 9y agoThank you. This is incredible.
- jogjayr 9y agoI failed fizzbuzz once in a phone interview. I was really nervous. I've since gone on to have a reasonably successful career in software. It can happen.
- linkmotif 9y agoThank you for sharing. How can one administer fizzbuzz over the phone?
- jogjayr 9y agoIn a Google doc. While you may say a Google doc is a suboptimal environment for coding, it was literally fizzbuzz.
- carlmr 9y agoJust do it in Python: import fizzbuzz fizzbuzz()
- scarface74 9y agoIf someone did that, I'm not sure whether I would give them brownie points for not reinventing the wheel or demerits for being a smart ass.
- hinkley 9y agoI nearly fucked up Fizzbuzz on a tech interview once, but managed to pull it out at the end. Later someone told me the guy who interviewed me said it was one of the best interviews he'd ever done. It kinda makes me doubt it as a screening tool.
