Minimum qualifications: "HTML5, CSS3, Javascript". I think it's pretty clear. You can question why the company needs a JS programmer in a design job. I don't know. But it's clear in the requirements that Javascript could come up in the interview. Knowing Javascript means you can code a loop and some conditionals, which is all FizzBuzz requires. They didn't ask her to implement a red-black tree or the Dijsktra's algorithm.
And besides that, who told her the rejection was about the FizzBuzz or JS issue? Maybe another designer had a better portfolio or whatever. Again, a blog post that got more attention it deserved to rant about something that happens every day and has happened to a lot of us: a job interview that doesn't go well.
