I work at Google, and don't know anyone who'd struggle with Fizzbuzz.
That's an extraordinarily simple coding problem, and the usual ones you have to pass to get into Google are much harder.
- cmrdporcupine 6y agoI never said I'd struggle with fizzbuzz. I said I'd struggle with fizzbuzz on _his_ whiteboard. Because it would give me anxiety to do it there in front of him, and it's not how I code or think. And this is a person who created a throwaway account on HN just to get into an argument, so I can imagine how the experience would be. Getting the job @ Google was worth that stress. The original comment I made was to the effect of: before you dump a coding test on me, you better make sure it's worth the stress by convincing me why.
