If you're still measuring candidates with leetcode and fizzbuzz, I'm afraid you're part of the problem in with broken hiring in tech. I just hope the candidates you pass up trickle down my way.


I mean, if the candidate can't do fizzbuzz I doubt there is much programming of any kind they can do.

It's a ridiculously basic problem. It doesn't filter good candidates, it filters terrible candidates.


He did qualify that: he said "FizzBuzz level of coding", which might not have been the actual FizzBuzz test. But his point was that the guy couldn't write code at the level they were hiring for.
