>>> Its like, 5 lines of code. What happened? I have no knowledge of the specific, but I think most people have experienced a freeze up in an interview - I certainly have. (I tried to reimplement basic math functions on a coding test - I still have no idea what happened) That's why there is no silver bullet - fizzbuzz is an indicator. But we rely on expertise to spot itself - or spot potential. Which is why we need to be careful of just cloning ourselves and our cultural biases. For example, you could put your Indian dev in front of me and I would not have the Oracle depth to recognise her as skilled enough to go to bat for. But Python internals? Yeah maybe. PostgreSQL once upon a time. Its frankly still a hard problem.
