> I develop software since 1986, never needed such dummy tests to be hired. I've never personally had a FizzBuzz test, but I also have no doubts about my ability to solve it in my sleep. I'm against trick interviews or algorithms quizzes, but FizzBuzz is again just establishing a ridiculously low baseline that you know the most essential aspects of programming. Someone a few weeks into CS 101 should be able to do it, so any professional developer who can't deserves to be immediately laughed out of the room. FizzBuzz is only a "dummy test" in the sense that only dummies will fail it.
