Controversial opinion of my own: not being able to solve fizzbuzz doesn't necessarily indicate lack of programming ability. The "trick" there is the modulus operator, and I can easily imagine somebody who was otherwise a good, experienced, effective developer never having come across the modulus operator.
- detaro 6y agoI would say not being able to solve fizzbuzz without the modulus operator would be an indicator of lacking programming ability.

- MaximumYComb 6y agoI cannot imagine a situation where someone is a good, experienced, effective developer who has never come across the modulus operator. I just put about 6 seconds of thought into it and you could also program: * Fizzbuzz with a loop that has a recursive call inside. * Fizzbuzz with a loop that has two additional, resetable counters I don't even work as a developer and managed that in less than one minute of thought. Any experienced developer who cannot program Fizzbuzz isn't good.
