Please add fizzbuzz and other stupid code trivia to the list.
If you want to see how a developer really works, ask them to submit a patch, participate in a real code review and review their public facing code contributions.
- Terretta 4y agoBy its very ubiquity, FizzBuzz is a beautiful filter. It's shocking how many interviewees can't do it, so bullets dodged. Then for those who regurgitate the conventional solution, extend the problem to FizzBuzzBang with Bang when divisible by 7, and see if light dawns. I dislike your tools based "do it live" test unless you pre-configure their preferred tool chain end to end. Many devs are rote in their tools of choice while lost in anything else. That's ok.
- peatfreak 4y agoOoh, I've never heard of FizzBuzzBang before, but this seems like such a natural (and surprisingly interesting) extension. Thanks for mentioning it. I'm going to check it out.
