Anonymous asked: 1 in 3 show up and can't fizzbuzz. 1 in fucking _3_. Everyone has seen a cartoon I guess.

jesus

im sorry

how did they get an interview tho

It is not hard to lie on a  resume.

EDIT: Or just have different standards. In my last job, over 2½ years, I wrote maybe at most a hundred lines of Powershell. Do I put Powershell on my resume? Do I put two and a half years of Powershell on my resume?

ok but…..i don’t know how this works in real life but at least a lot of startups will have you solve something nontrivial before they talk to you

That’s because startups know their shit and they haven’t hired the non-fizzbuzzers so they actually are capable of pre-filtering, is my guess

    I always wonder how many failures to fizzbuzz are more about performance anxiety than lack of skill.
