> FizzBuzz is great, always worth asking. Up to what point? Are you going to ask a 20 year veteran of the industry to be performative in order satisfy an entry

  It depends. If the veteran is responsible for architecture, process, framework, then no. But, if the position requires that veteran to touch code (or read and review it), then a simple question like a "find the largest number" or FizzBuzz completely appropriate. The question basically acts as a safety value at this point. It is especially important to do this if they have not touched code in previous positions over the last 5-7 years. Otherwise, the business runs the risk of this veteran throwing their weight around on the engineering team and mucking up a production codebase two days before the release date, which could cost the company serious time and money depending on contractual obligations.
