Is Asking Developers How to Write FizzBuzz Outdated?
I have never understood why FizzBuzz was deemed a means of screening developers. The idea is for multiples of 3; you print Fizz. For multiples of 5, you print Buzz, and for multiples of 3 and 5 (15), you print FizzBuzz. While this kind of prescreening question might have worked 15 years ago when information wasn’t as accessible as it is now (smartphones, smartwatches. etc.), it seems strange that some companies still ask developers how to write FizzBuzz.
