I have definitely quit hiring process where I have been asked about FizzBuzz.
It’s outdated, useless, shows a lack of imagination.
I don’t want to work with people asking me whether I can perform a loop with a basic conditions.
And it’s a hill I am willing to die on.
I am financially independent, mostly here for the intellectual challenge. And I have never met anyone asking me about FizzBuzz having then the capacity to entertain me intellectually.
- anyfoo 4y ago> To be clear, as I explained in my first post, my filter questions are not FizzBuzz, they are much more domain specific. At least if it's past the phone screen stage and for more than an internship. But they are still identifiable as trivial filter question for any serious applicant. I don't force you to work anywhere, though.
- soueuls 4y agoNobody is forcing anyone. And filter questions are ok, but FizzBuzz is definitely insulting. It would be like me trying to hire someone to improve my SEO, someone sent me his CV with 8+ years of experience, who talk about long tail keywords, cannibalization issues, internal linking and I ask : "Do you know what is the Google Console?" I think both parties can have red flags
