what is everyone smoking? youre still trying to optimize for a test and not a job. dont give them a fizbuz. give them an example of a real problem your engineers need / are trying to solve. how do they respond? thoughts / intuitions / pseudo code. do they show knowledge of the problem space / domain? ot if you just want a kid who can code and they pass the fizbuz but fail at the real job, what does your training/culture look like? who does that really reflect on? it seems to me that interviewing is terribly cargo cult. the problem is real, the practises ostensibly supposed to be solutions are not. /end rant
