This is just the world of interviewing though, it was the same a decade ago.
The reason we ask people to do fizzbuzz is often just to weed out the shocking number of people who cannot code at all.
- brulard 2y agoYep, I still can not understand how programmers unable to do fizzbuzz still have a sw engineer career. I have never worked with one like that, but I have seen so many of them on interviews.
- Beretta_Vexee 2y agoI have seen IT consulting and service companies employ ‘developers’ who are barely capable of using software to generate views in a banking software package and unable to write a line of Java (which was the language used on the project). When the client knows absolutely nothing about it and is not supported by someone competent, they end up employing just anyone. This applies to both construction, IT and probably everthing.
- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoUnless you're also a programmer, it's very difficult to judge someone else's programming ability. I've worked places where I was the only remotely-technical person there, and it would have been easy to fake it with enough confidence and few enough morals.
