Yes, testing the ability to do tasks related to the actual job is refreshing.
Similarly, fizzbuzz is generally massively more useful than whatever silly CS problems people are asking in interviews.
I use fizzbuzz and character counts (histograms) as my primary weapons.
If they pass that since i'm usually looking for iOS developers they get a simple app with poor table view scroll performance and are asked to improve the performance of it.
- rch 11y agoSure, but I wouldn't ask anyone with more than a few years experience implementing parallel distributed file systems to tap out fizzbuzz in an onsite. Edit: This is part of the problem - an Engineer is fundamentally different from a Developer, even if there is significant overlap.
- fleitz 11y agoAgreed fizz buzz is the "phone screen". App onsite.
