Either ways the sad reality of where the IT industry stands today is that you don't even need Fizz Buzz to differentiate a bad non-programmer from a good one - Just asking them to print 100 to 1 is usually good enough. The point of FizzBuzz is to differentiate whether a person is a non-programmer, or a programmer. It is necessary but not sufficient to determine whether a programmer is good. It's important to note non-programmers are not necessarily bad persons, they just aren't programmers.
