I have big issues with impractical interview questions that favor interview prep over actually practical skills. That said, anyone who can program should be able to implement fizz buzz in 10-15 minutes given a description of the problem even if they had never heard of it.

hmm interesting... i haven't done a technical interview in 15 years so i just tried fizzbuzz (leetcode was the first thing that popped up on google)... took me about 15 minutes. i was caught a bit off guard, there are a couple of little subtle gotchas that require some actual thought. i'd say it's a pretty good test without requiring knowledge of data structures or CS level algorithms. that said i would only want to do it on a terminal, not on a whiteboard. i'd probably fuck that up somehow.
