Sure, fizzbuzz is trivially easy – under normal circumstances. But some people find these types of exercises irrationally difficult in the context of an interview, especially when coupled with the artificiality of writing it out by hand on paper. > For a professional programmer, anything less is just an excuse or an attitude problem. You're entitled to your opinion. I disagree. I think you're projecting your personal experience of the world onto other people, which is your prerogative as the interviewer. However, speaking from personal experience, I know some people who would otherwise make excellent teammates, top contributors, etc., will fail this test, and many who pass this test will make terrible employees. As I said elsewhere, you will get many false positives and some false negatives. Thus, I think it's a bad test and a waste of time.
