Average programmers aren't working on shell scripts, client side code, and server side code at the same time.
- scrabble 13y agoAre you sure about that? Everyone on my team does. I can't really imagine not being able to build the full stack.
- zxcdw 13y agoAnd everyone is better than the average. :) Honestly, HN too has hordes of people who can't write FizzBuzz. No reason to feel elitist for anybody really.
- pjmlp 13y agoFizzBuzz seems to be an American thing. I have been coding since 1986 and only learned about it via the usual HN hiring discussions.
- jeremiep 13y agoMost programmers never heard of Fizzbuzz, the point of it is merely to screen out candidates who can't come up with their own solutions to problems. A lot of so-called experts aren't capable of doing more than copy other people's solutions. Fizzbuzz offers a simple but new problem for candidates to solve.
