The difference here is I think Fizzbuzz is at an abstraction level that if you’re above it, you’re not actually programming.
“I’m a mathematician but I never do long division” -> totes believable.
“I’m a programmer but I never use for loops or conditional statements” -> uhhhhh
- yters 7y agoPerhaps, but it seems like a lot of modern programming consists of plugging together frameworks, filling out configs, and so on. Even the traditional for loops and conditionals are abstracted away with streams and filters, hiding the simple counting math involved.
- synthc 7y agoI would want to filter out candidates who can only plug frameworks together: all frameworks have their limitations and I would want someone who can work around these.
