How does implementing Fibonacci weed out people who can't program at all? Spending hours doing Leetcode is far from a reliable assessment of someone's programming skills.

That's what I mean tho. In high school, they start leetcode practice from day 1 of programming or CS classes. Soon, you will get many leetcoders in the market.

There are many people applying for jobs who can't program a buzz fizz. They exist. A fibonacci is enough to throw them off in an unfamiliar language.
Well, for what it's worth I've been programming professionally for 4 years and never had to write fibonacci even one. I think doing something that's more immediately alike what you'll be doing in the project is more productive for both sides.
