I still find it hard to believe that someone would apply for a programming job without being able to write fizzbuzz in the language of the position.

- tonystubblebine 17y agoI found it hard to believe also, but it happened plenty. I think it's more common once you get outside of silicon valley startups. For the startups I worked at, we were almost always able to hire from within the community and most people we interviewed already had public demonstrations of code. They weren't all perfect candidates, but they could at least write fizzbuzz.
- Quarrelsome 17y agoWhen I took the interview for my current place the first question I was asked is "what is the difference between the public and private keywords". After I responded with the obvious answer the interviewer sighed with relief and told me I was the first candidate that day (out of 5) that managed to answer the question correctly. Be VERY afraid. :D
