I failed FizzBuzz, I admit it. I was asked that as an interview question. I studied hard for my interview but I forgot about the mod operator and totally fumbled my way through the interview. I am now the Senior Web Developer and turned out to be a great asset to the company. But you wouldn't have known that from my FizzBuzz results. I also didn't have 'Computer Science' as a Major. Couple strikes. However they took a chance on me.

Since then I've been able to interview others and I look for different things than FizzBuzz compliance. I want to see how they solve problems in general. I want to see if they have any passion for what they do. I want to see things they've developed.
