It also says he reads blogs like coding horror. I believe it refers to http://imranontech.com/2007/01/24/using-fizzbuzz-to-find-dev... (made popular by http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/02/why-cant-programmer... )

Fun thing to say on HN... maybe not so good for a conversation with random person trying to hire you ;)

I'm not so sure about that, if I was interviewing someone and they said "I can totally write FizzBuzz in 15 languages", I would take it as a general sign of awareness of the programming community. Pretty much every good programmer I know has been a regular reader of Coding Horror, Joel on Software, and other famous programming blogs at some point, if not currently.
