Jeff Atwood over at Coding Horror is at it once more FizzBuzz: the Programmer's Stairway to Heaven In His second blog post he left out the FizzBuzz test so as not to distract his programmer brethren. As with the last article Jeff addresses the surprisingly high ratio of weak programmers to interview candidates.
Jeff once again asserts his readers superiority
The whole point of the original article was to think about why we have to ask people to write FizzBuzz. The mechanical part of writing and solving FizzBuzz, however cleverly, is irrelevant. Any programmer who cares enough to read programming blogs is already far beyond such a simple problem. FizzBuzz isn't meant for us. It's the ones we can't reach-- the programmers who don't read anything-- that we're forced to give the FizzBuzz test to
In yesterdays post Why Can't Programmers.. Program? I thought Jeff ment if you read programing blogs, you are competent.
I now realize Jeff is just trying not to offend his readers.
