> If there are people who can't solve fizzbuzz that are getting programming jobs, what do they do at work? The good news: They cause the programming messes which you'll eventually get hired to clean up, while they're off somewhere else making another mess for you. > I can solve fizzbuzz easily, but I haven't ever built an application that I would consider useful. The bad news: All you're ever do is clean up those frauds' messes. Anyone can build a system with 100k lines of Java code (incl comments). But only people like you can come along after it's up and running and make it work, so that's all you're ever be doing. Unfortunately, the employers will expect you to carry a cellphone around and solve those problems at 3:00am. It's cheaper to pay you 10% extra for wake-up calls than take your time away from other maintenance clean-ups in the daytime.
